Yep, that would be it.

I like Robby. He is a fine jock. He has brought me home some fine winners in the past. It is simple--dont bet him if you think he is a bad jockey and is not going to bring home a winner for you. Maybe it is your fault for wagering on him.

Huge over-simplification here......More often than not,somebody you would rather not bet on is riding the horse you feel is best.I would imagine that is exactly what happened here.Seattle thought this horse should get it done.He had to put up with the jock that came with it.

If you dont like the jock dont bet the horse. There has been plenty of times where I sat out a race because the horse I liked had a jock on it that I didnt like. It is a matter of discipline in my opinion. But I do understand what you are saying.

Yes,he didn't like an earlier ride,and so he probably should have passed on taking low odds on Albarado in the 9th.I would imagine he was chasing pretty hard.

One jock I will not wager on or single in a pick 3 or 4 is Victor Espinoza. I will use him but only with other horses.

He rode a perfect turf ride, saved ground, swung out into the lane. he had no traffic, and Seattle was incorrect on his first post, Mystery Giver was passed late, not the other way around.
And his ride in the 9th was also fine. The horse to the inside dug in. Come on, I can't stand jocks as much as the next guy, but sometimes you just get beat. this was the two of those times. You want to see a horrible ride, Sunday Mar 25th, Aqueduct race 3. Jean Luc Samyn on the 1, now that is getting your horse beat, not what Albarado did. But this is a typical Seattle wanting attention thread. Good job, mission accomplished.

He should never have lost the 9th race.That is simply a case of one jock wanting it more,and floating out to take a shot at intimidating a horse who is better than his.There is zero doubt in my mind that Albarado had the best horse.Jocks decided that one.

Just once I would like to hear somebody say:
"Oh man, such&such jockey just won me a ton of money!! I had totally capped the race incorrectly and didn't have the best horse at all, but the cleverness of the jockey's ride saved my ass!!"

I can this about Russell Baze in the 3rd at The Big A on Saturday. He rode BYANOSEJOE to victory for me. Not going to say what I won because I will be accussed of redboarding. But he was not on the best horse, but gave the best ride.

This is a seldom spoken, rarely overheard, exclamation isn't it? Can you imagine hearing someone shout out a "thank you, ****, great ride" to one of them, before leaving the rail and heading to cash that $100 win ticket, that trifecta, or that super?

Sure they were doing their job, they got their cut; still, JUST MAYBE they performed their task exceptionally well, their skill proved beneficial in that particular race.

Anyone can benefit from accolades. And they should be spoken more readily, regardless of what our vocation is.

Nah, won't happen in horseracing though. All you'll hear from the rail is, YOU SUCK, when they lose next out.

Too often, all we hear is how profoundly stupid they are. Seldom the positive. That's a shame.

I'm sure it breaks their little hearts that they don't get as many compliments as they do criticisms. Poor Robbie...he must be crying in his mansion.

Using the term "Rot in Hell" was unfortunate.
