Now, if someone can prove that every other rider would have had him chasing the pace, and not last, then it's a different discussion. But, that's impossible to legitimately claim. Borel rode him well in the Derby.....but the horse won by seven lengths.

Thats exactly my point....Borel is the only one that rides like that.
I agree that it is Horseracing...not jockeyracing. However, I agree that MTB would have run a good race in the Derby whomever rode... But its a joke to think he would have won by 7 lengths if you take away the Borel tatics.
