I think that's called bad sportsmanship.

and i agree with that! these aren't CARS these people are driving. horses shouldn't end up paying a price for a jocks ego-or bad decision.

he couldn't win, so try to keep invasor from getting thru? i hope that isn't what he was thinking...

a little too sure maybe? probably thought those others would part like the red sea for him. ooops.

That was a Franklinesque ride today and a very impressive run by the winner.

I doubt Jara will lose his job b/c of this. His ride in the Classic and on Jazil will save him from banishment.

I am sure that Kiaran will castigate Jara. But I am sure Jara will imbibe information from this ride.

You mean castrate.

Maybe that too, but I mean castigate. Jara would be a gelding. Or maybe Kiaran will take it easy and make Jara a ridgeling.

I don't think Jara is a bad rider (although he used bad judgement today) but I think his ride on Jazil has been soooo overrated in the Belmont. The horse ran the exact same speed the entire race. Any perceived move that Jara was making was just other horses tiring while Jazil plugged along at the same speed.

Anyone that could make weight and hold on for the ride would have won on that horse that day.

They are wrong Andy---Johnny V wasn't on A.P. Arrow, that was Kent D.

To take a chance with a horse like that, in a spot like this, was foolish and should absolutely cause the connections to consider a rider switch.

agree, a horse like that deserves the best jock, a top jock.
I have been holding my breath every race hoping that he wouldn't throw in a clicker, well he did today.

Personally I wouldn't worry much about changing jocks at this point. Its all the horse. Invasor would make any of them look like HOF riders.

That was Desermeaux who did that on A.P. Arrow....another one of his vintage crazed rides that he is only capable of.

Well, the rider of AP Arrow had more than a right to keep him from taking his hole. Of course AP Arrow didn't start running until he got to the outside but that's another story.

I haven't watched the race carefully. I'm still pissed Invasor got through at all as I wanted Zito to win a Grade 1.

Invasor's only loss was to....................Discreet Cat. Collision course in Dubai.

....and Testimony and Flemme De Passion. Somehow I don't think he brought his A game, B game, or C game that day.

not to often a word can overshadow the reigning horse of the year in his return to the winner's circle....

Jara has certainly had some big wins, but overall he has about a 10% win percentage. I think that puts him in the average (mediocre) category
