If you say so. But I guess 9 TC winners (and the only jock to win the Preakness 3 straight times). He also won the Canadian Triple Crown. And he holds the all time record for Breeders Cup wins with 12. I guess that is pretty much luck

Listen...I am not saying he was a horrible jock. He had a long career...so of course he was going to get the wins. But he wasn't one of the greats....McCarron..Eddie D....Pincay...Cordero...Stevens......they were the great ones from his time....I am probably forgetting a few....Day was nowhere near the jockey those guys were...

Thank god that night when he was all whacked out on heroin in a hotel room that god magically appeared from his tv and told him to straighten out his life....who knows what dumpster he would be residing in today calling home

Yeah--too bad Antley didnt have God pop out of his tv like Day. But Day did more on the track than Stevens, McCarron, Eddie D and Cordero did. I would say that Pincay is the top dog. Personal preference is all.

Make your case as to why McCarron and Cordero are better. Change my mind. I am totally open to your logic. Go ahead and convince me.

So basically you can't? The numbers that Day has are much better than McCarron or Cordero.

BTW, I fully respect that you've seen lots of great horses and all, but the thing is, there are very few great horses in training right now and a lot of Grades Stakes races...so I'm just wondering, if none of these victories are going to Jazil, Corinthian and all of the other horses you claim to be doubtful of victory...who is winning them? The few horses of quality would be lucky to start 4-6 times this year.
