It looks to me he does it about 50 yards to the finish. He looks over his shoulder then is like "oh F" thens sits back down to ride but it's to late

Do you really think the millisecond he took to adjust his goggles cost his horse a placing? Ice box was getting there.

Icebox was rolling faster than a soundwave. His last eighth was nothing short of spectacular. They were talking about LAL's bad trip, but Icebox had to check midway into the first turn, was steadied several times going into the first turn, checked in midstretch, then lost a ton of action only a couple hundred yards from the finish, then took of like jet to catch POP. WOW!

You're lucky he didn't pull him up.

Thats what you get for putting up a rookie jockey to ride your horse. Loyalty aside, get someone who can ride him straight
