Well it's easy to make that statement since the chances of Garcia riding in NY are close to nil.

It's funny because I didn't see Leparoux in the winner's circle at Del Mar yesterday. I guess the inferior jockey colony at Del Mar had a lucky day.

He had three mounts yesterday, and ran 2nd in a Grade 1 race...Garcia was in that race, where did he finish?

Also, Lep has DOMINATED the Kentucky circuit like NO OTHER bug has. Garcia dominated Northern Cal....

You can put a monkey on a horse in Northern Cal and win races. Sunny HO EVEN WINS RACES in Northern Cal.

Leparoux ran second with the even money favorite. A horse who romped last year in the Balerina.
Garcia ran last with the longest shot on the board. A sprinter who was stretching out on dirt for the first time.

Yeah and Pablo Fragoso even wins in NY.

I'm not saying Lep is not a great jock. You're the one saying Garcia would be lucky to win 3% of his mounts in NY. He would arguably be a top 5 jock at Aqueduct's winter meet.

Ithink it's a stretch to say he'd be a top five jock at AQU's winter meet.

He's absolutely dusting Arroyo Jr. at Del Mar right now and Arroyo Jr. finished tied for fifth at the duct winter meet.

Wow. your new to the site so I am going to take it easy, You are comparing Apples to oranges right now. NY winter duct meet is the weakest of their meets. Lep dominated Keeneland and Churchill, two of the most competitive meets in the country. Not sure how he is going at Toga but if he wins that meet, you won't have any argument whatsoever. You also have to realize is that they guy is still winning races when he doesn't have his bug(stakes races). Garcia is not.

Yeah, you're right. I could replace Slogoso with Espinoza and/or Samyn and it still wouldn't equal the horrible Sunny Ho.
