I thought the 4 should not have been taken down. Seemed to me that Lanerie first went for a hole that did not exist, then the 4 drifted out and the hole opened and Lanerie went for it but the 4 did come back over with the 5 pushing the 4 even further in. It was a tough call and I am not sure the 2 would have won going through what was barely a hole regardless.
Regardless, it is rare that you see a jock taken advantage of as badly as Lanerie was there and the truth is he should not have been in that position in the first place. He had plenty of time around the turn to get that horse out and probably wins the race if he does. That honestly was one of the worst rides I have ever seen by a jockey and Lanerie really should not get a quality mount at the Spa IMO.
