I also think Rosemary is a better rider on the grass.

thats b/c you compare everyone to Jose Lezcano

but Valez has always been a steady jock, especially on the sod, and it looks like this year ol rosemarry is on point and getting live horses from Ziade and others

just wait for calabrese swalkowski (sp) zaide bennett start giving him more looks as the meet progresses, he'll be a top 5 jock, if not top 3 when all is said and done. On the other hand, the jock that has fell off the planet at tb award goes to....................carlos montalvo, he used to be neck and neck w/ centeno last year and the year prior, the guy is lucky to get 3 mounts a day this meet

I agree with kev re: Centeno.

Velez will get it going. Montalvo is getting better mounts as the trainers realize the garbage they have been legging up is just that, garbage. I have never seen such depth of bad jocks. Montalvo is still clicking at 14%, he'll be fine.

I'm sure Griffith/Montalvo enjoyed beating Centeno's ass on the grass yesterday. Centeno loves to jump ship to Clemente/Matz/Kimmel and co. (rightfully so), which will give Montalvo and others their choice of the "locals".

If Paco Lopez continues to ride at GP, the top five at the end of the meet (in no particular order) will be Centeno, Allen, Homeister, Montalvo and Velez. Luis Gonzalez will continue his fairly steady riding, but I think he'll end up out of the top five.
