Kent or any other jockey's impact on the game/sport/industry of horse racing is extremely tiny. He is not a symbol of anything in my opinion. He is a jockey that is extremely skilled and puts in rides that are at times brilliant and at other times baffling.

He seems to have great instincts for riding but has a brain the size of a walnut.

Meaning if he thinks about his ride, he'll do something stupid, hence the baffling rides.

I don't recall Mott ever riding Garcia, but Corny would do Mott some good.

I agree with you guys...he isnt right and hasnt been for a while.

Let me ask you guys this. Mott has been going through a cold spell (so has zayat for that matter). Do you think that maybe it could be the other way around? Maybe Kent is getting stuck with a bunch of Mott horses that arent in a position to win right now?

Mott does employ other riders and its not like any of them are lighting things up right now when they are on Mott horses.

Im not saying that this is definitely the case im just wondering if you guys think that it may be a possiblity.

Bris PPs for Sunday's card show him at 56/2-10-10 for the current Saratoga meet. Horses are hitting the board, just not getting to the winners' circle.
