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

I guess Chavez always sucked and Solis is some kind of dominant west coast jockey I've somehow massively underrated - while simultaniously overrating a half dozen to a dozen other guys in the same room - over all of these years.

My lying eyes and lying stats be damned.

I'm also going to take a stab and say that Chavez isn't a good rider anymore as a 50-year-old man because his riding style was by far the busiest I've ever seen from an accomplished jockey. Not being at peak fitness and health probably isn't as important when you just sit still and urge late.

I guess this is as close to admitting you were wrong as you'll get, so I'll take it.

I grew up watching Chavez ride, man. He was a very good rider back in the day and a terrific wet track rider. I never said he wasn't and it was common knowledge to anyone playing NY.

But stat wise, Solis has had a better career. That's it.
