Sure, I mean, why not base a jockey's standing on the results of 17 races when he rides 1700 races a year.

No,I dont like to confuse quantity of wins is better than quality of wins.

If we compare young jockeys only then Alan Garcia and Leparoux managed to step out of the one-two hit wonders and routinely win graded stakes races month in and month out.

Maybe Dominguez shouldnt be riding 1700 races a year. He has already proven he can win titles so the next logical step is for him to focus on earning quality mounts and secure those big wins to put on his resume. I am sure he will be a force in the later years but right now he is not there.
