Lets thank the jocks!

[my miss storm cat]

Okay, if you could pay homage to one jock..... NOT the best, NOT your favorite..... if you could complement one on a fine ride or if there's one who was riding when you made that big score?

Who would you thank (besides Maylan) and what would you say?

Anyone?

Lets all play nice in the sandbox, kids, and remember those who have the only job in the world (I think) where an ambulance follows them around all day.

whoever won on Kickin...


do jockey's deserve thanks when they do their job correctly? Or do they only deserve to get crap when they screw things up.

Jose Velez Jr. is the jock who gave Dee Tee Stables their 1st win.
He is also the 1st jockey to have Kickin N Screamin settle and make one big run. He almost had us another win next time up but the field was small due to some scratches and the horse on the front end had too much left when he challenged on the turn.

I thought Willie Martinez gave Sumwonlovesyou the best ride of the 4 jocks we had up on her. There may or not have been some apathy involved with the others but it appeared that Willie tried the hardest.


I agree Edgar Prado with having the where-with-all to use his stick and move the reins into the other jocks hands.

for me personally, I've always been a fan of - Jon Court
I was making money on him from his days at Hoosier, Ellis and especially Oaklawn I felt like he wouldn't let a horse pass him once he took the lead

nowadays not so much. I did catch a show bet on him at Hollywood on some 35-55 to 1 shot. I had him in the exacta on a day where I got first and third all freaking day long... so I probably weighed him down too much and he still managed to get 3rd.

Jon always has a big smile on his face.
