whos the best jockey ever ?
 

the best jockeys i have ever seen are easily jerry bailey and gary stevens, just want to know what everyone else's opinion is ?

are you serious ?

chantal sutherland is gaining on him

I'm NOT touching that one with a ten foot pole! :D :D :D

Lafranco Dettori. Best winner's circle dismount as well

DJ Jazzy Jeff

;) :D

well i realize you are not, but why is everyone knocking him? he is not now what he used to be, but he used to be great

only if you want him to check whether someone is stealing your car in the parking lot or don't want a freshly painted rail to get scuffed up.

Monkey man
 

And he is teaching Johnny V everything he knows.

perhaps he gives her some after hours instruction?

Ramblin' Man...opps! :eek:

in my opinion you have a keen historical perspective for such a young man.

Chris Antley, Laffit Pincay Jr and Willie Shoemaker

He may be a "has been" rider...but he's no fool! (a twist on a Monty Python line) :D

The line starts in the rear...

:eek: :eek: :eek:

I'll give you five...in no particular order

Chris McCarron
Garrett Gomez
Pat Day
Edgar Prado
Javier Castellano

5 most underrated jockeys currently (could do just as good as Johnny V. if riding 1st call for Todd P.)

Calvin Borel
Robby Albarado
Jesus Castanon
Eibar Coa
David Flores

Pat Day...

If you were to give give me 5 specific situations,I think I would give you a "best jockey ever seen" for that situation.Overall,I would say the best jockey I have seen is PVAL.

oh, and my vote would be for bill shoemaker.

Maybe PG1985 can relate to this...

JUST KIDDING!!!

Pat Valenzuela after 3 grams.

Laffit Pincay doesn't make anyone's list??? Eddie D??? I personally liked Gary Stevens and cashed alot of tickets on Victor Espinosa and Alex Solis before they started riding for the bigger name trainers. Robby Albarado is very underrated in my opinion also. Just my thoughts.....

DaHoss...I agree with you...my point was probably over the top but I really feel JV has been helped much more by TP than vice versa. If JJ had the opportunity to have first call on those horses he would be exactly where JV is now...

well laffit pincay jr.
edgar prado

enough said

LOL!!!

laffit is great as well-or was i suppose. edgar as well, i'll always pull for him.

Shoemaker, Cordero, Bailey

Jorge Ricardo, Altair Domingos, João Moreira, Nelito Cunha and Marcelo Cardoso

Eddie D or Ron Turcotte

Surprised no one said Russel Baze since he is the Winningest Jockey ever...I DONT THINK HE IS THE BEST EVER EITHER
