You know what is amazing though.... From about Thanksgiving weekend until this last weekend,Flores was butchering rides galore.In a funk.Getting stakes horses stuck 2x etc. for the same trainer/ owners .Then he has a big day,and makes about 30k.Wins 5 races.The owners,trainers,and bettors got the shaft during those 3 weeks,and he ends up just fine.

This one is not even close for me: Mike Luzzi. He is the worst judge of pace I've ever seen on a big time circuit. 2nd would have to be Jose Valdivia. He consistently finds trouble in 5-6 horse fields. My vote for 3rd is a tie between Raul Rojas and Jose Espinoza.

Obviously you gotta have the horse, but jocks' decision-making, especially in turf racing, is a key component in my opinion.
