After that the horse races somewhat greenly and wide and then puts in that nice run down the stretch. Agree that if the horse gets out ok it is the winner, but I don't think Jara was to blame for the trouble at the break.

yes , you are correct , i mis labeled the thread (mods can adjust it if they so choose , not a problem)
while it was not a textbook ride for mr jara, a lot of the reason the horse lost was because of the other horses slamming into him at the break , the wide trip hurt and clouded my judgement , but , he could have won going wide into the belt pkwy if he wasn't slammed sideways the 1st 25 yrs of the race, it's a shame we will never get this price again on this horse
