It's worse because he had instructions to do otherwise. If this was "one of the single most puzzlingly stupid decisions in riding history", he'd certainly be losing some business because of it....and believe me, that aint gonna happen.

If I had that horse I wouldn't ride him again, if for no other reason than to make a point to him that he is given instructions for a reason...we all know that things happen in a race that force jocks to abandon the best laid plans but that is not the case here...and I believe the owner feels the same way.
