It seemed to me that when he was a bug, he was on a live horse every race, whether it be a 6/5 shot or a 22-1. All the trainers knew that he was a hot commodity, given the weight break and his talent.
In my eyes, he is the best jockey in the world. A few bonehead moves here and there, yea. Feel free to disagree. I'm sure the lines around the corner on this one.

Well,I think he has more energy physically and mentally than most jocks.He doesn't have to fight weight.So,he probably isn't as grumpy etc. as many jocks.I like that he always wants to give his horse a chance to see what they have to do.They can always see a target.I don't know if he is best,but he is very good,and he rides stakes races much better than in the past.It would appear SOCAL fits him very well(has since he came here the very 1st time.)
