A new tactic for Fox Hill Farm?



Who's decision was it?

If you're going to replace a rider, at least make it an upgrade from the one before...

Do you understand that that's exactly what one would expect? If you are the one on the "best horse" every race, you are going to be the ONLY one who loses with the best horse. Likewise, if you are on the best horse "almost every race every day", then you will lose more times with the best horse than any other jockey in NY.

This frees Ramon up to ride a Derby contender.

I agree with this. I couldn't see him getting that distance and say what you will about Ramon, but he could get another mount in the race.

LOL. Good one. That's all the reason, the only reason, that "ramon is really not that good."

thats funny, he wins 2 to 3 a day in ny. went west 2 weeks ago and won 2 at SA, including the frank kilroe mile (grass,gr. 1) and burned gomez on the chalk. yeah, he just sucks. old fashioned will run faster with another jockey and he won't get tired either, i'm sure ramon's heart broken.

I think it was a good decision from trainer L J. Ramon, in my opinion, is not a good front runner style horse ryder.
