I read a lot about the ride on here, and I mostly agree: the jockey influences my betting when I have a clear opinion of how he will ride a horse.
But as I posted before the Preakness, the variant at CD was probably .02-.04 (some had it at 0.05 but I think the rain made it a little faster). I don't know what they came up with for the Preakness, but the track was probably .15 which implies two seconds slower.
Add the effect of a lot of new speed in the race and it explains (for me) at least as much as the ride and trip.
