He will always be a top 5 jock(because his good rides are really good.)

Gomez, Bejarano, and then there is a drop off to...Ezpinoza, Solis, Baze. I would agree he probably belongs in the top 5 or 6 at the moment.

Solis? He has to have the best horse. He hasn't won with a 2nd or 3rd best horse since he got hurt. Seems like a decent person though(must be.)

Don't you think he looked better than Square Eddie? I mean with no other pace(if they switch horses, there's no way Solis would win with Square Eddie.) Why do you think that Headley dumped Solis?

I played that race and did play The Pamplemousse on top, honestly I was looking for action and for the odds he was at 5/2 I think it was, if I wasn't bored I probably would have laid off. I thought he was stepping up significantly off of a Mdn win to face a horse that nearly won the BC Juvenile. He may turnout to be a good race horse, and he did set some pretty honest fractions, I thought Solis rode him very confidently that day. But really I can't say 100% for sure he is the better horse.

See the ride on 6/5 Brought It today?

That's what I am talking about. Trouble at the start, but he makes it much worse by flattening her out with the wide move on the turn(wide on apex of the turn is a killer.) I haven't seen the head-on, but looked like Flores might have been doing that thing FAT MAN talks about(herding.) I don't care about any of that, but it's an example.
