I wasn't sure who was on him all day but that was probably the worst ride I have ever seen on a horse. I didn't bet the race, first off...
I asked the guy next to me if that was Laviolette on him. You didn't see Cornhelio JERK back Showing Up in the Secretariat, just let the friggin horse run. Guy should lose his license, or approval to ride, whatever it is

Not his first time
This is not the first ride Kent has screwed up her at the Spa. Did it on a Carlos Martin horse taking it to the front when it just had scored from off the pace.
That said if you watch things as closely as some do, you are going to be disappointed by everyone, it is just a matter of time. When i was at Saratoga last week even Johnny V. screwed up a couple of time once on a pletcher first time riding the rail when the rail was obviously dead and then gave a horrendous ride on the turf on another Pletcher horse on Whitney day. Obviously, Johnny V. screws up less than almost anyone else but it still happens. That said if you got bucks on a horse and the rider screws up it bugs the hell out of you, especially if you believe that horse would have won with a normal ride. Jockey are human and make mistakes. It is obvious that some riders make much less of these mistakes (PRADO, JOHNNY V., JULIAN L.) than others do. Imagine watching these jocks on a day to day basis at a minor league track... it makes you appreciate the top ones even more. PSH
