If anyone saw the terrible ride that Kent D gave him, you'd think he's been taking riding lessons from GG. Another memorable ride by Kent D...

I was wondering-- so, he took the lead, then brought him back to fourth and then what happened? (I'm very much a novice in watching the jockeys' performances in the races... would love to hear analysis...)

I think something is wrong with him anyway. 3/5 is just plain crazy for a horse who doesn't like to win. But I think he'll be layed up for a long time.

Took him to the front, ahead of the pace setter, choked him back, took him inside, got boxed in fourth. Now if that doesn't confuse a horse, not much else will. The horse is thinking, "Do you want me to be ahead? Do you want me to go? Where do I go?"..."What are you asking me to do?"
Bad, Bad Ride!

he was not worth 3/5 and the two other horses that actually figured from a sheet standpoint ran 1 and 2.

Exactly, used 3 in the Pick 4. Gesture, Go Deputy and Silver Whistle, would've liked to have seen Silver take it, but as long as the favorite was out its good enough.

The stewards need to call him in for that ride. It was beyond bizarre. It doesn't really matter what price you thought he should be or whether you liked him, fact is after setting a moderate first half mile he stood up in the irons and strangled him back to 4th. That was definitely awful.

Same here. Used the same three in the late double with the 1 and 3.
Nice double payout....
