Not trying to be a wise ass, just interested.

I ain't blaming Ramsey Zimmerman for JUDY getting tired late in the 5th at the Fairgrounds.Just so you know, I ain't putting on the jock in that case.He rode with confidence.Solis rode scared.When he goes out of town to ride 3 year olds,then it doesn't seem to go great.He likes the wide stretch at Anita,because horses tend to spread out more at the top of the stretch,and he can get his perfect trip coming off the rail.If he didn't get hurt,then you will see a lot of this horse this year.Look,he is loaded on the backstretch,and Solis won't let him run.Even though it's a slow pace,he waits.Well,this ain't Anita or Golden Gate.This is not a wide stretch.So,he didn't get out at the right time.Had to re-rally etc.Has to get minimum of 2ND PLACE with that much horse.He just blew the ride.Not like I am surprised.If you don't believe me ,then see what the horse does next(if he is sound now.)He has been willing to put a bid in on every surface so far.This is with a jock who only has the nad to wait for a perfect trip.It's a huge handicap,and the connections need to wake the f up,and get him a jock that matches the desire this horse has.That rider yesterday isn't the one.People are gunna want this mount.I know you think I am being overly rude to this jock,but agents all know that was a blown ride..a timid ride...and a horse who should of been top 2.If I had to guess,I'd say they leave the guy up,and he gets him in trouble again.This is a jock that has been well liked,and easy to get a long with.Look,you want another bad ride from him/ Look at the premature move on Street Boss in the race before this last victory.He makes the lead on the turn(with a horse who is use to making the lead no earlier than midstretch.)This is no Bejarano (who lays nicely behind speed ...with good position n' beautiful control of a horse.)Solis is pretty much doing 1 of the following 3.......1)Perfect trip on the rail n' out off the wood in the stretch...2)blocked=bad third....3)premature move-makes lead n' gets nailed.........He cost Street Boss a win,and Bravo a 2nd place...I am as sure of that as I am that it will get dark tonight.
