I don't trust him on a horse, and this is saying a lot, as I bet pretty much anybody.
He was once a (relatively) premier jock. Anyone who thinks he's the same jock presently is welcome to contribute even more to the pools.
This is elementary ****. There are people here that really want to debate this issue or that think that Ramon is overrated. How the **** are these people betting? Are they medicated? This is childlike in terms of seeing/understanding. It's a ****in' comedy here with these opinions.

Oh I couldn't agree more, I certainly watch more than enough NY races to know that whomever speaks negatively about Ramon Dominguez pays little attention to what he does day in and day out.
Prado has been deteriorating for years, I'm acutely aware of that. Old Edgar would have had the instincts to get the horse that lost the 6th by a lip into the hole that looked like it was there faster. I mostly brought up the thread where he was asked to retire mostly to prod the thread starter.
