Is there a limit to how overweight they can be? Honestly unless they ride the same horse, it will come down to the best horse not jockey.

More Cordero memories. How can anyone ever forget when he lost his irons on Our Homeboy out of the gate at Saratoga. I think it was a mile and an eigth race and his legs where hanging down the entire race and he actually had the lead at the top of the stretch and he was whipping and driving. At that time it was the funniest thing I had ever seen in my life. I think it was late 80s when this happened.
