He finished 10th at Hollywood's Fall Meet in 2008 even though he only had 86 mounts to Bejarno's 241. He was tied for 5th with Rosario in win percentage at that meet, only Bejarano, Gomez, Espinoza, and Baze were higher.
It's all about opportunity. When these guys without much ability finally fall out of favor - they tank. Just as a guy without an ounce of ability will put up big surprising numbers if they stumble into opportunity.

He's not a bum. He's just not in the top 20 best jockeys in the country. He's probably in the top 30 best jockeys in the country. I would hardly call that being a "bum". If you're in the top 30 best in the entire country in any sport, I would say you're doing pretty well.
