I think Garcia has ridden lights out for Baffert this year. I highly doubt any other jock would have done better with those mounts. It would be hard to improve on 42%.

44-for-157 isn't 42%, it's 28%.

I was mixed up. As DrugS said, I had the 42% figure in my head from the other stat. Anyway, even 28% is a great number. I can't remember Garcia blowing any for Baffert this year. I think he's ridden great for him.
