Robby Albarado jumping off Einstein yesterday

[Toccet02]

I was wondering if anyone had any negative impressions at all of RA jumping off Einstein yesterday to avoid Mending Fences.
On the close-up, he looked so calm and deliberate, not panicked or startled.
I certainly would have done the same; safer than maybe jumping the downed animal while on horseback, but do you think Einstein's connections would have wanted RA to try harder to stay on, maybe swing out?
Would anyone dare bring it up?
Has anyone heard of a pissed owner/trainer in a similar situation, or all they all (appropriately) deferential to the tragedy?

FWIW, I thought he jumped off too. For the rest, don't forget that the people who own Einstein also own part of Curlin.

To be clear: he definitely did jump (not fall) off. Voluntarily. Fallen horse was in his path.

He didn't jump. When a horse veers out suddenly and you lose your balance it looks like you jump, but you aren't. I had a horse veer suddenly make a right hand turn and it looked like I jumped. I didn't, it was over before I knew it started.

In the interview right after the race he told the reporter that he fell off when the horse ducked out. He may have made the best of a bad situation and controlled the fall--this guy is a pro after all--and a controlled fall is better that a splat.
