Calder being my home track I see Chamafi more often than most. I guess he seems to bring in his share of bombers. He seems to be fairly one dimensional in that a very high percentage of his mounts he goes right to the front so at CRC maybe thats how hes getting hs prices by being lose on the lead and it working out for him

He was the top rider in Panama over the few months he rode there before coming here.

I saw he was on a $21.60 winner in the second at CRC today.

It feels like his bug has been wasted because he has no name right now and every jockey loses an edge and big selling point when the bug is gone.

Just curious, but did he give a reason why he changed his mind?

He's had another bang-up year, statistically.





Losing more than double the takeout from over 1,200 mounts.

Yup, here's what I had to say regarding Rajiv yesterday in the selections thread!

Maragh, my least favorite jock who rides some nice horses! I will never understand why any outfit at "major tracks" use this guy.... I've been on the losing end of his notorious "bad rides" costing me thousands......

I don't think he watches replays intelligently enough nor does he seem to understand race setups or the abilities of the horse he's riding let alone the other horses in the race imo....

He's a jockey, thus unable to fathom strategy beyond that of a preschooler.

With jockeys, it's just a matter of degree of dumbness.
