Today was a tough day to play Bay Meadows (I know, I lost a few $$$'s)... if you're playing the horse and not considering the jock, unfortunately you're going to lose some on days like today... Baze has been on fire (won 6 of 8 today)... I don't know if it's him just getting all of the good horses right now, or that he knows how to ride a muddy track at Bay Meadows better than anyone else, or if he know best how to ride around less experienced jockeys better than the others at BM (heaven knows he can't ride with the other jocks in the country) - when I look at the form I see that there are a lot of no-name jocks riding there right now - after watching replays from BM it looks like in some races, Baze just knows his horse and the course better than the rest. How many time have you watch Baze go right to the rail at the turn and then ride it to the lead? Happens all the time - how come the other jocks can't figure that out?
I love Bay Meadows but until Martinez gets back up to speed and Schvaneveldt, Alvarado, Gonzalez and Carr start riding like they're capable of, I'm not betting, cause Baze on a horse makes for really crappy odds.
Just my two cents
