I don't think ANYONE seriously thinks Baze is superior to Pincay simply because he has more victories. The fact of the matter is Baze earned his wins in the minor leagues against third tier riders. I can appreciate the amount as it is a very impressive number no matter how you slice it, but in light of the fact it was achieved in the minor leagues it will always be perceived as such by true horse racing fans.
