He was standing fine. His first step was down instead of in front.

"Aaron Tod Gryder" (born June 5, 1970 in West Covina, California) is an United States/American Thoroughbred horse racing jockey.
Growing up fifteen minutes away from the Santa Anita Park/Santa Anita racetrack, as a boy Gryder had no contact with horses other than his father and his grandparents' interest in attending the nearby races. But from as early as he could recall all he wanted to be was around horses as a professional jockey. At the age of 13 he left home to learn to ride at the invitation of retired jockey Rudy Campas.
More Aaron Gryder on Wikipedia.We were able to save a little ground around the turn. The way he switched leads turning for home, he was really reaching out. He made up a lot of ground, and I was very happy with his effort. He seems to have improved with each start, and this was his biggest step forward, but it was at the right time of year.
I like the fact that he hasn't shown his true potential. I don't think he knows how talented he is. Hopefully he figures that out - if not this Saturday, then a few Saturdays later.
