Question

As a side issue to this controversy I ask other forumites - what about the rides of the jockey on the eventual winner....I can't catch him........can you?
In the above race in question he rides "like a man inspired," yet, if you studied his other rides on the program you would definitely be underwhelmed!
As I have stated in another thread, I study form ...both equine...and human and this rider has me in a quandry.
On numerous occasions I witness him putting his whip away in a tight finish and rising in the saddle....definitely not the normal stance of a rider.
Any thoughts on this matter?

Cheers.
