One thing is clear....she's ten thousand times better than Stewie Elliot. He just lost a race at Aqueduct, the seventh, that no other rider on earth could have lost.

No kidding. I was eating my racing form after that one. 3 out of 4 in the pick 4 made it even better.

He's beyond horrendous.

Fortunately I went into CEW mode in the finale. Hatta Diamond, to me, was a standout in the race.

Now Cedeno..she's ok I guess. I thought she was on the best horse in the 5th race but didn't have room in the backstretch on the rail and had to lightly tap on the brakes and go to the outside. Not worth a bet back, but the minor trouble possibly cost her the win.

Not sure what you saw that I didn't, but other than being 2w the whole way Elliott never really did anything wrong, he was just 2nd best. The 4 had problems changing leads, and when she finally did she went right by them (and held her lead easily despite switching back to her wrong lead nearing the wire.) He shouldn't have given up the rail out of the gate but it probably wouldn't have mattered.

How do guys like this win Derby's? I realize the horse runs the race but this guy has screwed me out of more money at Delaware when he had much the best it is a performance crime of the worst kind..... and then when you bet against them with a marginal talent they pick that race to do something halfway savy.....I think it is more maddening when they win with a mediocre horse......

That's some mojo! Now, if you put up the Washington Generals and they win, it may get scary.
