Must have private jet. No way commercial, but I'd still be wary of any of his mounts.

Tyler Baze won the G3 Santa Paula at Santa Anita today aboard 3yo filly Carlsbad who is also undefeated (5 for 5 as One Caroline 4yo filly) after riding in Dubai yesterday. Talk about a coincidence.

Great angle to remember. Must be very confident to go to all that trouble.

they're only riding horses, not exactly rocket science.

Have you ever rode a horse? No, it's not rocket science, but it's not exactly something that can easily be done off very little sleep and jet lag.

i just worked a twelve hour day off very little sleep. that included a four hour drive. no fatalities.

you guys are overrating what it takes to ride a horse. and yes, i have ridden albeit not competitively.
i'd be FAR more worried about a jock who's so dehydrated from trying to make weight that he can't even stand on his own two feet. where's the horror about that?
if prado slept the whole way back, he probably didn't suffer jet lag. it worked for me when i flew to japan.

doctors perform on very little sleep or no sleep as well. i'm sure a jock, who is definitely in shape, can handle a ride after a flight.
