He collapses more races than Centeno, Ramsammy and Patrick Husbands COMBINED, and these 3 are the preeminent PREMATURE EJACULATOR jocks in North America.

What's ironic here is that a halfway decent jock probably has DOUBLE the number of wins that Baze does.

And it's not all about wins and loses: Baze PUNISHES horses by consistently putting them under pressure early and/or having them wide. In other words, a horse almost always has to be TONS the BEST for Baze to win on it.
No doubt Baze hasn't seen a speed duel he doesn't like. I can't count how many times I've had money on the guy, sure that he'll get a garden trip sitting 3rd behind a couple gunners...only to see him right on top of them from the gate and wasting any shot the horse has of winning.
