If he wins - will they put him in the Hall of Fame?

[The Indomitable DrugS]

At least Borel has delivered several Hall of Fame worthy rides in big races. Winning an Arkansas Derby on 100/1+ Rockamundo and a Gr 1 in the Foster on the beyond impossible Seek Gold among others - not to mention his incredible record in the Ky Derby.

Alex Solis has made an entire career out of being about the 5th-to-12th best rider in the room on the So. Cal circuit. Unlike Jorge Chavez, he's never won a KY Derby - unlike Jorge Chavez - he's never won an eclipse for outstanding jockey.

How big of a joke is it that Alex Solis almost got in last year ... and Ghostzapper (unarguably the best horse in the last 12 to 15 years - and unquestionably the best horse Frankel ever trained) didn't even make the 'nomination to vote on' cut?
