His absurd early retirement was the final nail in the coffin.

I thought his Preakness was very impressive however and any horse able to overcome Stewie Elliot as effectively as he did had to be pretty damn good.

You get ONE jockey to ride for you, ALL of them are available, riding today, who would it be

Prado.

I really don't care, but some guys are bad, and Elliot is one of them. When he rode the 2005 winter on the inner it was pitiful.

Victor Espinoza
C. Nak
Javy
Prado
Rene Douglas
C. Emigh (in Illinois)
K. Cogburn (not even sure if he is riding anymore)

These seven, I will never be upset at, because they got stones, and they TRY to win.

Currently there might be some people who would dispute the integrity of one member of your list.

I really don't watch California, but I have never forgiven Espinoza for his ridiculous premature moves on Spain in the Fall of 2001.

yeah, Douglas is VERY questionable, but he is always 'riden dirty'

I don't expect an old fart like you to know what that is.....

I'm sure that's much too hip a term for me.

A competent rider would have won that Distaff....and probably the Beldame a few weeks earlier.

Kevin Cogburn? Man Scav you do live on the edge! Your right, a good jock, who will give you whatever is under him. I know he rode in this year's LS TB meet. Probably now at SH, Delta or Sunland.

Where did you see him ride?

I have been betting him since I was a tot. I used to need beer money at SIU and I knew Sam Houston was running and cruised up to the OTB and put it all on Cogburn....he used to be a 20% clip jock but I think he was having problems, weight and drugs.

I don't like Gryder. My favorite jockey used to be Jon Court. He still brings in a few long shots here and there.

Today I like Mike Talamo

Rooster is riding at RP now. Will probably take a few at Oaklawn and then move to LS.

[sumitas]

Because the race in on the left coast I would choose Mig or Gryder.

I can not even respond to such nonsense. He couldn't win a walkover
