And another thing is that I wasn't making gross generalizations yesterday too. If you want to play that game, you were making gross generalizations when you didn't even know the trainer's instructions or the horse's tendencies. I even admitted in the thread yesterday in response to 2MINSTOPOST that he may be right and that my outlook may be wrong.
Also, I was saying that people needed to stop bashing jockeys as a whole, and those I am talking about know who they are. I was also referring to other threads over the past few days when I was talking about that. Also, I didn't try to chatise anyone, and I'm sorry if anyone took it that way.
And I'm not blaming others. Where I am I blaming others? Show me.

This nonsense about not being able to evaluate the ride without knowing the trainers's instructions really needs to stop. Anyone that knows the first thing about watching a race knew that what Ramon did yesterday was inexcusable. Are you trying to suggest that the trainer could have told him to find the path of MOST resistance?
It was a bad ride, that you defended yesterday, and were wrong. You were " blaming others " in that you were suggesting those of us that called it a bad ride were in any way out of line. We were not only NOT out of line....we were 100% correct.
