The guy is incredible at CD. I don't know how anybody can deny that. He wins at an absurd percentage on horses that have no business winning (like that rat in the CDH... which I would have never used if it wasn't Borel.) He gave a masterful ride in the Derby AGAIN on Super Saver, who obviously figured on form. Drugs put up a statistic on his ROI in route races there and it was bananas good. Seriously- the guy is the best rider in the history of Churchill Downs. I usually don't care who rides a horse but I ALWAYS make sure of who he's got there.
