Oh my gosh. This arguement is stupid. The only thing that matters in horse racing is wins and money earned. So instead of trying to analyze rides and how someone prepares for a race and how stupid or smart a jock is lets just look at the jocks standing for wins and money earned.

Edgar and Garrett are 1 and 2 in the jockey standings nation wide when it comes to money earned. Now Johnny V is winning at 26%. If Johnny V wasnt hurt then he prob would be at the top of the standings. But these three jocks are prob the best in the nation right now. So to say that a jock who has earned over $10mm this year and is winning at a 18.8% is stupid then the person calling this jock stupid should take a nice long look in the mirror.
