Surely Calvin was worth at least a length to RA over an other jock in the field

To say that Calvin was worth at least a length to RA over another jockey wouldn't be true in the Preakness. I didn't see anything at all wrong with Smith's ride. In fact, him moving when he did and going wide was the only reason that MTB made it as close as he did.
If Calvin tried to save ground and go the rail or just off the rail, there's a good chance he would have finished 3rd or worse.
