watch the last race of keeneland today. that jock is a total scumbag. i'm not complaining as i booked the winner. just a prime example of shenanigans in effect.
You ought to love him!!
The jockey on the 9 either had a Bill Shoemaker Moment (misjudged the wire) or just was flat out wrong for easing the horse as early as he did. I wouldn't suspect anything dishonest about his mistake. It's been a while, but I've seen several jockeys misjudge the finish or length of the race when it's been a marathon (1 3/4 miles or more). I'd put the jockey on the 9 in that group.
Much credit to the track announcer for how he reported it. He didn't give a "heads up" to the jockey on the 9 that the 7 was reeling him in.
I decided not to play the twinspires Keeneland contest today. There's got to be at least one very happy person and another equally disgusted by what happened! I know I'd be quite distraught had I had bets on the 9.
MSE can post replays and I hope he puts this one up.
