It was hardly an all-time butcher job but it was a poor ride on a horse that probably should have won. After breaking a little slow there was no real reason to rush up. However, you could argue that if he hadn't, the eventual winner would have gotten away with an easy trip, and still won.

You are talking about a 6:5 shot in a four horse field. Surely there will be more expensive and tougher beats in the future.
