My point was that his impact or any jockey's impact is truly overrated in regards to an individual race and completely overrated if one is to say that Kent D is "a symbol of much that is wrong in the game today".

Kent not following instructions, riding out to the wire or providing feedback really has no impact on the game as a whole. If kent's performance is that bad, trainers wont ride him any longer and the show will go on.

And why do you think he came out here in the first place? He wasn't getting mounts out there. Let me change my word symbol to reflect my meaning. He symbolizes much that is wrong with the sport. However I doubt that will help anything. Some folks just like to argue.
