I'm not sure what perfect is but under the circumstances he did absolutely nothing wrong. He lost to a better horse who got a good trip as well. If you criticize the ride that John Velasquez gave in the second race today you have no credibility. It's as simple as that.

i think i am starting to realize something......
horse racing is 95% about the jockey/trip you get...
these last few days, i have been on a coast to coast pick 4 binge... and i have seen some horrible trips, horses who were much the best, losing because of the jockey.
