I'll have no problem throwing out Spun Sugar in the Distaff because of Mike Luzzi.

Yeah, that will be why she loses.......Luzzi.

He certainly blew the ride on her in the Go for Wand.

Here's a hint...you know you're on the right track when you bet a horse, the horses are loading in the gate, and you have to look down at your form or program to see who's riding your horse.

Sounds good to me, blackthroat. Put your $ on Spun Sugar. Luzzi's horrendous judge of pace and inability to get a horse to relax give this horse no shot in this race. There's a reason why he's never won a BC race, and rarely even gets a mount for that matter even though he's based in New York year round.

First of all, my friend, I never said I was betting Spun Sugar, and had you carefully read what I wrote you would have seen that I was suggesting that when Spun Sugar loses it won't be Luzzi's fault.

I also never said that Luzzi is a GREAT rider, though I happen to think he rides just fine, and if he had the mounts that John Velasquez has his win totally would be at most negigibly less.

The real point of my post is that people who waste time overly worrying about who is riding a horse are also losing bettors at the racetrack. Of that I have no doubt.

I agree with you 100% on your main point, Blackthroat, and that is people waste entirely too much time and $ based on jocks. However, like Oracle said, I have no problem throwing out a horse because of certain jock on him. Luzzi can win races on TAP's horses who are by far the best in the race, but the guy is speed crazy IMHO, and will cost a very good horse, Spun Sugar, any chance at winning the Distaff, just because of his style of riding.

That completely flies in the face of his terrific, and winning, ride aboard her in the Go for Wand.
