Default Worst Ride of the Year

We're basically at the end of the real racing year. Who you got for worst ride of the year? I nominate Gutierrez on Nyquist in the Preakness. I'm sure it's not the absolute worst ride of any jock in North America this year, as there's clearly some of the dumbest people on Earth riding horses on a daily basis, but considering the stage and circumstances, he's my vote.

To me it is unquestionably a ride that ironically happened on the first day of the year, New Years Day. Gerrardo Corrales on the 5 horse in the Gulfstream Park Race 6 on January 1, 2016 when he thought he won a 1 7/16 race by about 8 lengths after the first turn when he was unprepared to know that it was a 3 turn race.
