Albarado is frustrating, the only closers that I will play him on are the ones that can win going 5w, he is playable with speed or raters, as long as he is in the top flight, you have a chance.

This weekend, he rode Fort Prado, best horse in the race by far, like he was riding a 10k claimer, was 4w4w and ended up 3rd beaten 5 lengths
Yeah I saw that race. I can't recall Albarado having a serious injury before but sometimes he rides like he's almost had a near death experience on the track.

The Kentucky cirquit has never been a hot bed of riders. It is a hot bed of bug boys. Kris Prather, Rafeal Bejarano and now Leparoux. The purses on the Kentucky cirquit just arent there. Now when Keeneland opens then all the great jocks come down. But right now the top colony is NY and then So Cal. No Cal is about on the level of Calder. Garcia is a finee jock but he wouldnt win 5 races at the Saratoga meet of he races 120 times.
