He should be ready to go in January after getting a vacation in December thanks to the 8th on Friday.

He's had another bang-up year, statistically.





Losing more than double the takeout from over 1,200 mounts.

Yup, here's what I had to say regarding Rajiv yesterday in the selections thread!

Maragh, my least favorite jock who rides some nice horses! I will never understand why any outfit at "major tracks" use this guy.... I've been on the losing end of his notorious "bad rides" costing me thousands......

I don't think he watches replays intelligently enough nor does he seem to understand race setups or the abilities of the horse he's riding let alone the other horses in the race imo....

He's a jockey, thus unable to fathom strategy beyond that of a preschooler.

With jockeys, it's just a matter of degree of dumbness.

I’d appreciate if someone could give an explanation why Rajiv gets the quality of mounts that he does!!

His agent is one heck of a salesmen.....

I don't know, but why did Chris McCarron get such awesome mounts when he clearly overthought everything and repeated his same mistakes for about ten years.

To his credit, he did eventually figure out that strangling the speed out of a horse in a route race never works.
