That was our boy Centeno pulling his best Desormeaux. He absolutey quit riding once he realized he wasn't going to get past the winner, but I am sure he'll say he felt something wrong with the horse or something of that ilk. I can see putting the whip away, but he put a hammerlock on the horse once he put the whip away and didn't move his hands for the last 100yds or so.
It didn't affect my ticket (no vertical bets here), but there was a dude nearby flipping out. Go to calracing.com to see for yourself, the horse's name is Lacy's Tune.
For the record, it's plastic bottles, not cans.
