It is not just the drifting and the opening of the rail that makes it suspicious. He never tries to ride the horse, he is just sitting still while the riders of the 5 and 7 are clearly pushing their horses. He never goes to the whip.

I honestly don't believe that many races are fixed, but when I see a complete non-effort by a jock like that it has to be questioned.

He needs to be called in to explain what clearly looked like a stiff job.

I thought the same thing, didn't look at the race but saw u bet the 4 so was mainly watching him. Right after the race I looked to see who was riding. He didn't move once on him.

Maggie Wolfendale (who also questioned the ride) tweeted that Ortiz told the connections that she was getting out. However that begs the questions of why he didn't give her a right handed whip to get her to straighten out or even an ounce of effort to ride her.
