Kent or any other jockey's impact on the game/sport/industry of horse racing is extremely tiny. He is not a symbol of anything in my opinion. He is a jockey that is extremely skilled and puts in rides that are at times brilliant and at other times baffling.
He seems to have great instincts for riding but has a brain the size of a walnut.

Meaning if he thinks about his ride, he'll do something stupid, hence the baffling rides.
