Let's see, Ramon has been a year-round fixture on the NYRA circuit for all of one year - a year he flat out dominated. Let's give the guy a little time to win TC races, although we shouldn't forget that he did finish second in the Derby and Preakness on horses that were 30-1 and 20-1, respectively.
If the standard is whether a rider is known "outside of racing," then I guess the best riders in 2010 are Mike Smith, Calvin Borel and Joe Talamo.
