Personally I don't think it was a bad ride. The horse has proved that he could run from behind. I'm not sure if there was a bias yesterday, but the few races I saw it seemed like horses were coming from behind. Not to mention that you had the leading jock riding who has been on fire lately. I'm not saying that he can't give a bad ride, but he had that horse in a spot where he could have won the race. Also, check out his last race on the inner, he came from way out of it.
Forget about the trip, is it just possible that the horse was short for his first race in eight months. Or is he not allowed to be a race short because he was sent off at 3-5?
I just don't know what you are trying to prove. You have brought up about four issues from this race and have been way off base on all of them.
