I don't know what's worse. An ignorant statement. Or a really ignorant statement.

Coming from you, I'll take that as validation of my statement.

No. I'm saying it's ridiculous to compare Azeri to those three horses.

I would suggest you take remedial English lessons or buy a dictionary to improve your vocabulary.

While you may take issue with what Vic Stauffer said in his call, please remember that in winning the Vanity Handicap, Azeri was picking up her 10th consecutive win, her 13th consecutive 100+ Beyer and had beaten everything thrown her way in the prior 15 months. That being said, comparing her to those three was a bit of a stretch.

As far as McCarron, I think the 2000 and 2001 Breeders' Cup Classics say all that needs to be said about what kind of rider he was.

Yeah, like I said previously, in the mid 90's he seemed to have figured things out and became a much better jockey. There was a span of two or three years around then where it seemed like he couldn't get beat.

Prior to that though....

That's interesting.

I could think of a few on here that might be placed higher, but I'd like to know what in my posts makes you think I should head that list.

Do you really not think you're bitter? it's not a bad thing.

Yeah, I'm generally a fairly bitter person, but that has nothing to do with this.

I'm someone who went to the track on average about five times a week from 1985 to the late 90's, and believe me, for most of that time, people in socal who were track regulars did not respect him as a rider. At least until the mid 90's anyways.

I live in South Western Maine, less than a mile from the New Hampshire state line about an hour and a half from Boston. I'm not that much stuck in the sticks.

What gets to me are people who think they are cute that try to put words into my mouth.

I was going to say 'idiots' at first instead.

If you believe that Shoe was the only legitimate jockey to compare to Mccarron, well, I don't know what to say to that!!

Pincay was certainly better than both.

PVal when he didn't have his head up his butt.

Cordero.

Bailey.

Eddie D.

Toro on the turf even!

Gary Stevens before he fell in love with himself.

Kent D. before his second or third fall.

All a s s kissers as I recall ( Pat was kissing his own with his head always near.)

McCarron would put your horse in the position to win and it was up to the trainer to have him fit enough to finish.

Cashed alot of tickets with Chris in the saddle.

I would like to add that anybody that takes delight in someone being hurt has a serious mental flaw. I was at the track the day Chris fall and got trampled, He was riding Encoded down in on the rail and his horse went down nearing the 3/8 pole. He was lucky to survive.

Rough day on this board for Whittingham I guess.

Dude is getting accused of juicing legends and cheering jockey injuries in seperate threads.
