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. |
100% correct, but why bother? Dude obviously lost a wager on Fly Down and hopefully, he and the other Lezcano detractors don't ever wager on a horse he is riding again.
It was plain to see he wasn't riding well. What's so difficult about factoring that into your handicapping?
