For Example: Gomez, Desormaux, Mike Smith, Edgar Prado, Leparoux, Bejarano are some who for sure rank highr than Dominguez. Its nice that Dominguez wins jockey title after jockey title but when the big days come he is a no-show. The jockeys mentioned above dont win jockey titles like dominguez but when the big races come they consistently show up and produce winners.
Dominguez did win the Saratoga title but Castellano, Garcia, Prado, Maragh and Desourmaux each had more stakes win than he. For a guy that rides as many races and who wins that many races, his graded stakes wins are very minimal. To his credit, he is very young and has an eternity to move to the top.
He is the Steve Nash of horse racing: Great in the regular season but no-show in the playoffs
