4/19 (CT): Charles Town Classic (G2), 5 undercard stakes

[RockHardTen1985]

Im using only Clubhouse Ride and Long River to end the pick 3 and 4. I think they will be offer value in multis as Dude and Moreno will be bet. There is also a cheap ChuckTown speed horse to run with those 2, pace she be super hot.

Agree - I may fish for a price with Joan Scott's entry Ruler of Love as well - race 2 back was good enough here, 2nd off and can sit a trip - just don't know if he's getting 3 turns, but will be well north of the 20-1 morning line and not without a prayer.

get to hear Kent talk about how he's the greatest that is, and ever was..........



KABOOM!!!!!

*side note, must be nice to be Mike Smith, to take 1 mount a day at different tracks as the odds-on chalk and not win.......must be the equivalent of retirement for a jockey

Because no other rider loses with an odds on horse.

Wouldn't throw dirt on Smitty just yet. Second in money won this year, over 13 million last year and averaging about $ 30,000 every time he gets into the gate. Oh, in about a third of the rides of Castellano, Rosario, Bejarano et al.

well, he get's not only grade 1 mounts but grade 1 horses in those races, so it's really no wonder he's making lots of money on them.
speaking of the 1/3 of the mounts as castellano, rosario and bejarano, yeah those guys are daily riders. Rarely do you see them at keeneland for ONE race, or chuck town for one race.
how many mounts did Smith have this weekend? 2?

Not sure how to interpret your post now. He is at the stage of his career where he is riding quality not quantity. Just like every rider his age has done. Also winning at a 21% clip.

This is silly and uninformed. Just like your signature of a bet I posted 6hrs in advance. Keep up the good work though and Happy Easter.

you ...... really need to stay out of conversations, like ALL conversations.

My point to Revidere was that he's riding quality, exactly. But, he's not winning on these quality mounts, at least he didn't this past weekend at Keeneland and Chuck Town. He's gift wrapped mounts on the best horses, unlike a lot out there. When he doesn't win i think people should be allowed to scrutinize, b/c he get's horse quality like none other out there

Obviously the guy can ride as evidenced by being in the HOF. But on a Thursday claimer with a horse that isn't a dead closer or hell-bent on the lead, I can think of 15-18 riders I'd rather have on my bet.
