He is riding better than he has since 2001 right now. He just isnt getting the top mounts again yet. His ROI right now is off the charts at Saratoga. As for physical ability, you mention bailey and he has much more natural ability than Biailey did. Bailey would be the first to tell you that he wasnt that gifted naturally and that most of his success came through hard work. Kent is about as natural and instinctive as they come.

Either way, its been fun. Thanks for the feedback.

I'll talk to the other guys in the next couple of days and tell you what they say. They've been in NY for the last few days for the yearling sale. I'll talk to them when they get back.
