I hope he keeps the mount. I think Andy said it best on the MSG show/feed. When he said that we all just saw something very special. I think he was right, that's one of those trips/races that people will remember/be talking about for years to come.

I think the way it worked out -- no discussion whatsoever. Like Andy said, it's rediculous. Depending on who gets in, who is out, and how the musical chairs plays out, sure, the phone might ring. Big difference between the two scenarios -- of course -- the horse won! LOL. The rest is all racetrack supposition.
If the horse was already in, and the jock made some real tactical errors and got jammed up big time, sure, the connections could start thinking. They might have something to talk about. However, that didn't happen. This jock played the cards he was dealt, played them exceptionally well and when it appeared all was lost, he was very cool.
