People talk sometimes as if its the Jock who runs the race. At the end of the day they ride the race, not run it. Nyquist has still never taken dirt. And when Ex took the lead and dropped over on him he Nyq sure didnt wait long to veer back out and get out of that kickback.
IMO, and its only an opinion, i dunno what else the jock could have done. He was on a horse who had never eaten dirt and probably wouldn't care for it. He rode him more or less the only way he could have to avoid taking dirt after drawing inside of a lot of other speed.
