Anyone actually notice how Kent D blew the race on the 1. So, the rest would've been academic. The race was collapsing and who really cares which horse closed well: they all came running late.
Think if he doesn't completely LOOSE REIN the horse midstretch to the wire, and is constantly looking over his RIGHT SHOULDER, he's able to hold off the winner, who came on his left?
Check the replay, the 1 is basically running on her own at the end. The reins are DANGLING. Kent was completely out of control.
Hard to criticize a dude that won the next 2 races but this was one of his worst rides ever.
