Jockey Jordan Springer????????????????

Curious stretch run aboard Engine Sixty Nine, no?

I didn't play the race, but I would be very interested in hearing if the stewards take action here. Wow.

Almost thought she was pulling up the horse or it was out of gas.

I noticed her taking that huge look over her shoulder as if the horse was done,and the field was going to swallow up her horse.
i feel bad for those who wagered and lost it all in the last stride

I wagered and thought it was a curious ride as well.

My Dad was alive to ENGINE SIXTY NINE in the Pick-3. I just watched the replay and it sure looked like she didn't want to win that race. If I had a bet on her (or was a steward) I'd be asking questions ... for sure.

Jockey's name is Jordan Springer, not Jordan Straight.

Mary:

Yeah, thanks. I caught it after I posted......

Here's the thing: If Jordan felt something was off w/the horse, then she should probably have been much more aggressive in slowing him down/pulling him up.

It seemed she was completely out of rhythm w/the horse in the stretch. I mean, I am all for the "quiet passenger" in theory, but that was just too much. Perception is everything, ESPECIALLY in this sport right now, and there are some who in watching that race may conclude that she was intentionally trying to lose. Or desperately afraid of winning.......

Curious to hear George Papadromou's thoughts.....................can someone ask him what he thought of the ride? Has Jordan commented?

OK Ogy. I just saw the headline after writing the Michael Straight accident the other day, and thought "How many of these riders named Straight are there? They're multiplying like Bazes."

This is why we need Freddy Fong back riding for the people.

I didn't see this, but heard a little about a race yesterday where the rail horse broke bad and passed between the starter and the rail
