the confidence exuded by jockeys can be explained.
they all think they are riding bernborough.
how else does an $118 shot win the spring champion stakes.
some races you expect horses to come from in the field to pass the front runners. aapparently in this race the frontrunners were supposed to pass the others on their way back to the rear of the field.

i have often said that it is an accident if i back a winner and after the spring champion stakes i hold that opinion.
who ever happens to be in front at the finish will be the winner but probably through no fault of the jockeys.
