My opinion on the guy hasn't changed one bit and its not like I want to have that opinion about him. I'd much rather he just put some polish on his already immense physical skills with some mental work on what the prevailing bias is and knowledge of his own horses' tendencies as well as the others in the race.
Yeah Edgar isnt strong as a bull but he always knows where he is supposed to be with a horse. Johnny is the same way. They also keep tabs on their main opponents in the race and where they are (kinda like The Breeders Cup Sprint when Gomez went for that hole and Prado said where do you think you are going jagoff?). Its splitting hairs when you start talking about things this detailed but in order for him to join Johhny and Edgar as the absolute best he simply has to learn that he does not have a liscense to get the rail move every time and that sometimes you need to send a horse and get an advantage if thats how the race shapes up instead of just grabbing and riding like he prefers to ride.

To me he's been Jeckell and Hyde. Lately a lot of Jeckelling out there.

I know but the guy can really drive you to drink. One race he looks so great you are in awe, the next hes boxed inside on a dead rail and you wanna tear your DRF into a thousand pieces of confetti.
