"choking" implies that Rosario was on the horse that was much the best and his ride killed the chances of his mount. This is hardly the case. He was on a 23-1 shot and lost to the favorite. He put his horse in great position.
For the record, he hasnt gotten grade 1 mounts because this is his first full season of riding in So Cal and there just arent very many grade 1 mounts to go around down there. He will get many grade 1 wins in his career and I will be sure to remind you every time he wins one.

Obrigado was much the best yesterday...even Stevie Wonder would agree. When a jock loses on the best horse he chokes....makes a horrible decision..whatever you want to call it. Yesterday he cost Obrigado a Grade I win.
Rosario is an average jock. Because the so-cal colony is so weak he does get the wins. But when they run grade I's out there, the real riders show up.
I will anxiously be awaiting your post when he gets a grade I win. I figure I will check back with you in 2011.
