The leading rider at Tampa Bay Downs this year was Antiono Gallardo (122-for-422) 27% wins. Ronnie Allen JR. was 2nd in the standings at 22% wins. Daniel Centeno was 3rd.

By comparison, Gallardo is also the leading rider at PID, but with just 21% wins. Ronnie Allen is 3rd in the standings at PID, and with just 17% wins. Meanwhile, Centeno is the leading rider at Delaware Park.

Deshawn Parker cannot buy a decent mount at Tampa for some inexplicable reason. As a result, he's usually gone by February.

Gallarado has become first call for Jamie Ness, which certainly pads the stats...(at least at Tampa, I don't follow PID to know whether that followed suit there). He's not bad, but if given the choice between the two I'd still put RAjr up, particularly in routes.
