I kind of feel like as long as the guy doesnt cost the horse the best possible place finish, I could care less about his lack of trying or body language. I also never understood everybody's beef with jockey's who pump their fist a few yards beefore the finish line or point to the stands and stop riding..."showboating" I think its called. I could care less as long as the horse wins. I have yet to come across a jockey who by showboating caused his or her horse to lose.
