BTW, regarding Jara, let's not forget he is very much in the infancy of his career. He still doesn't have the experience of riding in, say, 5000 races or so and seeing, feeling, experiencing the everyday, horse in and horse out nuances that eventually need to be second nature. That is just one aspect that shows or reveals talent and ability. Often it's hidden to the non-expert eye.
I noticed him early on -- when Chocolate brought him here. But I really started watching him very closely when I heard certain people -- people who anyone would truly consider an expert -- make some pretty bold statements about him, his talent, ability, etc.
Hopefully one day we will see the talent and ability blossom and flourish.
