Maybe Maragh, and thats just on that Fla-NY circuit. Is he even that much better then Corny or a guy like Cohen that Todd is throwing bones 2.

Lose lose? How so? He still rides for Zito, Chad Brown, Carlos Martin, Tom Proctor, etc. He had a bad...okay, really bad meet. No one is denying that. But to act like a 25 year old jock's career is over because of a bad meet is ridiculous.
Here are the stats for Gulfstream this past winter.

Lezcano rode more winners than Velazquez, Garcia, maragh and Leparoux. He won at a rate of 18%. Leparoux was 13%.
Here are the stats for the Spring Belmont meet.

Lezcano won with 23% of his mounts and was 4th in wins despite riding many fewer horses than many of the top jocks.
Again, he had a bad meet. His career is far from over.
