as for the jock...did he feel the horse was laboring, and didn't ask him for anything else in order to save him for another day? it was a maiden race, so perhaps the horse is younger? trainer instructions notwithstanding, it's up to the jock to handle the race how he sees best, depending on how it all unfolds. he's the leading jock at del mar, but i doubt this trainer is anywhere near the lead in the training standings-perhaps joel thought he knew better based on how the day was going? was the horse rank? 100 lbs vs 1000 lbs-we all know who will win that fight.
guess we'll see how it goes.

If I were a Lawyer, I would advise no comment. I am one that believes in the presumption of innocence before being proven guilty. I think we got to tread carefully here when it involves people's reputations online. Hopefully there is a logical explanation for all involved.
