I highlighted this because I think will consider a riders style in certain cases. For example Gomez on speed horses, he can win those type of races but he feels much more comfortable taking horses back, to a fault almost.

Tyler Baze on a horse with some speed but its hard to remember him doing much when taking a horses back.

Honestly though beyond that I dont consider riders, and for the most part I dont look at who is riding who, there are too many unknowns to make an intelligent decision.
