Cruget was DQ'd because he irresponsibly plowed into some horse while blowing by( this was his trademark move ) into the stretch.

He was a TERRIBLE rider.
You keep quoting races from when the guy was like 100 years old. YES HE SUCKED ASSS in the late 80s early 90s. So didnt Tyson at the end of his career, does that mean he doesnt belong in the Boxing hall of fame?

He drove Flying Water into the eighth pole, resulting in her death, in 1977 or 1978.

So, your argument is that Jean Cruget belongs in the Hall of Fame because you think the current members aren't worthy as well?

Early Fires was a MUCH better rider than Cruget.

Early Fires was a MUCH better rider at 65 than Cruget was in his prime.

Early may have been but he hid at Arlington park his whole life. He never proved anything at the A tracks, why is he in? He's like the Zenyatta of Jockeys.

Earlie went years at a time not winning any stakes races.
