Velazquez is 46-1-5-5 with a $0.07 ROI in turf routes this meet & 20-for-210 with a $0.64 ROI the last 3. He's also 1-for-19 in turf sprints this year.

Prado is 46-3-5-3 with a $0.38 ROI in turf routes this meet & 19-for-189 with a $0.86 ROI over the last 3.

These two are simply living on their name and past accomplishments. They are riding both dumb and chicken. You don't win like that unless you're on much the best.

While not offically retired yet .. it's been fun watching film of the cowardly lion and the tin man put on a show all meet long.
This is the biggest outcry for FAT MAN love I ever seen.

What is next DrugS? A lengthy post about Drafting...Or the Pleading call for NYRA to install TRAKUS?
