Overrated Jockeys

Albarado is overrated.

I get SOLID rides from Raffie, Migs, Guidry, Nakatani, Emigh, Bridgo, Martin Jr(not today but in general) and Mena...

I couldn't agree more with Albarado, now he GETS horses beat. I'll agree with Guidry, Bridgmohan, Nakatani, Emigh (who I think is very underrated), but I can't stand the Mig. I just think he is spotty. like today he looked great but, a lot of the times he is average. For my money Javier Castallano is great. In my opinion the best turf rider out there, and I know I may be stretching a bit, but he consistently finishes, and is usually a fair price. Aside from the obvious Johnny V., Prado and Solis I think Castellano is the new wave of star jocks, along with my favorite frenchman Laparoux.
