Toughest To Get By

[SCUDSBROTHER]

During the whole time you've watched horseracing,which rider is the toughest to get by late in a stakes race?


To me,this is an easy question.It's Gary Stevens.After that,though,it gets a lot less clear cut.I'd say Johnny V by a whiska over PVAL,GOMEZ,and McCarron.Gary Stevens is not the best rider I have ever seen ride,but he was the toughest guy to get by in the last sixteenth of a stakes race.

Dominguez. Remember Afleet Alex in the Preakness? (Yeah, yeah...I know...it was a total accident).

It wasn't a stakes,but I think people who had M SCANDAL wouldn't have a problem with Gomez being picked as a tough guy to get by late.

Solis is technically almost impossible to get pass because he's in last most of the race then takes his horse 7 wide on the turn.

Cordero. You practically had to kill him to get by him when the money was on the line.

I don't think too many got by Cordero on the inside.

I know a couple people who think he was great. Not me; just never caught him right, I guess.

Always the last race at Aqueduct. He carried 'em home.

Thought the same thing. He really knew how to ration a horse's energy in routes.
