About 42% of his wins this year have been for the Baffert barn. About 58% of his wins have come for a trainer other than Baffert.

I admit that is a high number but there are plenty of jocks out there that have a fairly high percentage of their wins from one barn. For a lot of years I bet that at least 30-35% of Johnny V's wins were for Pletcher.
I have a question for you. You say that you don't think Garcia is a very good jockey. He's 44 for 157 (42%) this year for Baffert. Do you think Baffert would have done better if he used someone else on those horses? Off the top of your head, can you come up with even one race where Garcia cost Baffert a win this year? I think Garcia has ridden lights out for Baffert this year. I highly doubt any other jock would have done better with those mounts. It would be hard to improve on 42%.
