Playa you arent representing the truth in your assertation about Bailey last year. If you are gonna try and bs soemone, make sure it aint me, cause you wont ever get me.
Bailey by his own admission couldnt handle the rigors of everyday riding last year, so he cut his workload and only took high class allowance and stakes races with some Maidens and high priced claimers as well for top clients.
He didn't ride a full slate, so his % would naturally be higher just riding chosen mounts.
Any jock could do that and attain a high %. The guys who ride day in and day out all year long and win the money are the guys who get the awards, period.
