Once again . What does the way the jockey explains a bad ride, have to do with the actual act of race riding in a pressure situation ? Rose had a chance to come up big in the Derby and failed. If owners and trainers are so ego driven that they're willing to risk losing a big race just to prove that any monkey can win the Derby on their super horse, so be it. My opinion is that Desormeaux if vastly and I can't stress vastly underated as a rider. He does need work in the PR department, admittedly he's too candid sometimes , in a sport that doesn't appreciate candor. Has nothing to due with his skill however.
