That's exactly why I'm critical of him at times. For me, a good jockey should not be in those positions. The likes of Steve Cauthen was rarely, if ever, in the wrong position.

I would happily believe there is a good reason for it but maybe he's just getting the best horses who can overcome unhelpful tactical positions. Coolmore obviously trust him immensely but could that be down to his reading of a horse's ability with future races in mind?
