Incredible close. Journalism is ridden by the worst jockey I’ve seen in 30 years.... but, he wins in spite of him.
Journalism was phenomenal in overcoming the jockey’s bad choice(s). The horse that finished second ran his heart out, too.
Umberto Rispoli is from Europe and a much better jock in turf races...where the key is to be patient and wait for the holes to open. You are right, he should have just tipped out, but Journalism showed what a Boss he really is...take a hit like that and still win. Gotta say though, Flavien Prat over did it in coming over on the other horse...he was really elbowing him. Prat is the top rider in the world right now, but he’ll get a couple days for his ride. The elbowing was over the line.
