I need to watch the replay for all this. From my single viewing, he basically came inside and ran down 2 horses that had taken over and were dueling the length of the stretch. Nothing more. He's supposed to win in that situation, as his horse hadn't run as much.

No doubt, he gets it when it comes to setups, saving ground, and basic race riding common sense, and, most of the others don't. Put him up against a fairly strong finisher with, approximately, the same trip and he gets beat every time. He's an average, in terms of physical ability, jockey riding against RETARDS.

EDIT: for an example of a RETARDED RIDE, check out PRADO on Giant Oak. He's proven he just can't ride inside, cause he has no balls, YET he insists on being there.

Maybe it'll look different from the head-on, but from the pan shot, it appeared to me as if he had an inch of daylight between Castro and the dying pacesetter and he hit the hole at the perfect time.
