Exactly, stable rider just like the old days. If he told him to hold the horse he would, extremely loyal family style operation. O'Neill made a bad tactical call, won the battle but lost the war. He is not worried about getting fired either and they all feel bad for the horse himself they hold in high regard. I thought he would let any speed go by and get outside, normally the case when you feel you are have the best horse, giving up ground loss for a more comfortable position. That is what worked in the Derby, the race was won by the first turn just as it was lost by the first turn Saturday.
