Each of those riders, have a resume much better than Ramon and most have achieved greater success than him in thier career, agreed?. If you want to compare him to other good jocks who win multiple times on claimers on a daily basis, please add russell baze and clinton potts to the conversation, the only difference is Ramon has more oppurtunities to race in big events.
In regards to his Tampa Bay derby flop of 0 for 6 as odds on favorites, they were all bad horses, on thier bad days. Thats the explanation you were looking for right?

Just becuase a jockey has won a big race (i.e. Kentucky Derby), doesn't automatically make them a good jockey. Example Stewart Elliot (or maybe he's part of the etc on your list). Dominguez is better than several guys on that list, reguardless of the number of big races he has under his belt. It's unfortunate that he hasn't been blessed by that special horse like some of the guys that you put on that list. Ramon's best days are still ahead of him.
Please tell me that you meant to put John Velazquez on the list and not Cornelio Velasquez? Because if it is right then I'm waving the
and tapping out right now.
