The worst jockey ever is....................1982 Eclipse Award Winning Apprentice Jockey Alberto Delgado, but I am biased. He screwed us once when he was our jockey at a time much later in his life. I think he averages about 100 mounts a year. I think he was struggling to pay his rent. He shouldn't be screwing anyone he works for....PERIOD. That midget, who by the way is bigger than the trainer we had at the time, rode the first two races at Laurel then left before our race.
He only informed the trainer in the Paddock before the first race. The trainer was so pissed he didn't have words. Apparently he had committed to another evening mount at Penn National???? He was our regular exercise jockey in MD and I had personally spoken to him every morning about the upcoming race. He failed to mention the Penn thing on any of the mornings he spoke to me or the trainer. So while the second is being run the trainer informed us of the jockey's new priorities. The trainer said to "give him an ear full" when he got off his mount after the second. My partners and I gave it to him from the moment he got off the horse, until he was in the jocks room. Needless to say, he neither exercised our horses or rode them ever again. Therefore, I have sour grapes and he is the worst jockey of all time.
