This Garcia kid is growing on me very quickly. I like the efforts I am seeing from him. Doesn't always make the correct decisions (but what jockey does?), but again, I have always been able to say I appreciate the effort he gives.

Garcia has blown more rides on the the turf this meeting than any jock not named Samyn.
I liked this horse as well. He made a wide bid on the turn and finished decently. Figured to improve off the layoff. But I wondered how he was going to get the distance. Used him with the 9, who I figured could get the distance.
He may've been wider than the winner but after playing pinball with Rice's horse entering the stretch, I wouldn't exactly say that the winner couldn't have had it easier. Ask Rice's horse, who had the jump on the 5 and quit real quick after the incident.
