He's been very good this week and anytime you see a price on him I would certainly give him a second look.

hes always good down there. but, i noticed up here he does not win like that. trying to compare him to ramon and alan garcia makes me laugh because i don't think he will ever win like they do. he reminds me of pat day. cleaning up on the weaker jockey colonies. its funny how he comes in behind rajiv, alan and ramon when they ride the same meet. the whole thread is kind of ridiculous because two of the hottest jocks around are rajiv and ramon. riding is like hitting, sometimes you strike out! you can't fault a guy for some mistakes. the horses are going 40 miles an hour with split second decisions. yet, people come on and put down guys that routinely win 2 to 3 races a day! i want to put some of you on the back of a horse and see how far you get in a race without falling off. ramon only beat him by 17 wins in a 36 day meet at saratoga, yeah , that was real close, give me a break.
