Nakatini + Balleto = ummmm???
 

Just read that Nak is riding her in the BC Distaff. Nak is the perfect rider for her IMO, I had no idea this was going to happen, QUITE interesting now

I'm sure there's no one with the same namesake on here that will be rooting for her lol...

Nakatani. He's adequate. He never got out of Wilko what Dettori got out of him, but he's adequate...

I'll let her beat me in p3's and p4's, no way can I use her in a win spot...I see this BC as a Spain and Carressing repeat for the Distaff and especially the Juvy Fillies, bombs away...No way can Nakatani move her up for a win...

I just love thse guys who think that some midget superhero is gonna make a chandelier like her suddenly have heart and wanna run by horses. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! Wake me up when something of relevance is said.

So you don't think that some jocks 'fit' horses? You know as well as I do that her fastest could win this race, I don't dispute her hanging type with you one bit.

Do yourself a favor, scratch out the name of every jockey....

Listen to Point G Scav, hes right.
I have never once in my life bet a horse just because a particular jock is on it. I will refuse to bet one because a certain jock is on one, but never the opposite, do you hear what I am saying.
That "fitting" stuff is nothing more than a romanticized notion that is clung to by sports writers who don't know any better and degenerate gamblers who want desperately to believe in such bull****.

hold up chief , your saying that never in your life you havent bet a horse when in the pps he is the only one who wins on this horse and hes back on today....i think not...

Hooves I am telling you that. I think that when you are deaing with a top jock, the difference is subtle. I never used jock handicapping for anything other than tossing out a horse who had an absolute horror show jock on his orher back, and even then it doesn't scare me sometimes. I am telling you that. But to each his own, jock handicapping is how soem like to play the game.

not me, I couldn't tell you who is riding them half of the time...

imho, Jockeys can't win a race, but they can lose it, but the horse can overcome even mild incompetence if he's the best...

I should clarify, it's my belief, but a belief I obtained from one of Beyer's Books...

mike im just saying ..if javy cast...wins on a horse ..comes off a layoff or is in a bad spot with rudy r up and has trouble wide ect..then javy takes the mount again you dont think that matters......

Only if I think the horse has a shot, its sure not gonna make me play the horse if I don't like him.

ok..this is going nowhere...youll never admit it..

Hooves why would I admit something if I don't do it?
I play horses before I play jockeys.
I will play a horse on a blind trainer switch angle though, that i will do!!!

I'll have no problem throwing out Spun Sugar in the Distaff because of Mike Luzzi.

Yeah, that will be why she loses.......Luzzi.

He certainly blew the ride on her in the Go for Wand.

Here's a hint...you know you're on the right track when you bet a horse, the horses are loading in the gate, and you have to look down at your form or program to see who's riding your horse.

Sounds good to me, blackthroat. Put your $ on Spun Sugar. Luzzi's horrendous judge of pace and inability to get a horse to relax give this horse no shot in this race. There's a reason why he's never won a BC race, and rarely even gets a mount for that matter even though he's based in New York year round.

just like gary stevens on RHT in the Preakness, even Im still embarassed over the foolishness

Thats a pretty good example.
