How to lose 62 turf routes in a row and counting
I suppose this could be the title of John Velazquez's first book.
He's currently 1-for-63 in two-turn turf races this meet at Saratoga. After not riding in the 1st race on opening day, he won a nose bob going two-turns on the turf with 3/5 favorite Freedom Rings. He's ridden 62 straight losers and counting since. Most troubling ... even in important Grade 2 stake races where he's riding the controlling speed ... he still insists on going 5 wide ... like he did on Cowboy Cal the whole way around the 1st turn.  If Velazquez ever catches a turf course where the 5 path is actually the best place to be ... he will get hot fast.

He lost his cock and balls a few years ago at Keeneland.

People that still play these guys at short prices on the grass deserve to lose their money.
