The argument you're trying to make could have been made in April when Dominguez was JUST an inner track specialist. He has proven this year that he can ride all over the NY circuit.

The very fact that you put Bejarano and Prado ahead of Dominguez is laughable. Prado is one notch above a joke at this stage in his career.

Whats the difference of what Bejarano did in So Cal than what Dominguez did in NY?? Did they not both win all titles at thier respective circuits? Bejarano (2008) and Dominguez (2009). For some reason you think Dominguez ranks higher with regular jockeys like Prado, Velasquez, Garcia, Maragh, Desormaux moving in and out of the circuit to ride in FL and KY. You can say NY jockey colony is deeper but that can be argued.

Put Prado's resume and Dominguez resume in front of two people who know nothing about horse racing and they can tell you who has achieved more. Please! Even if Prado is in a slump right now, there is no way his entire career is tarnished because of it.

What Prado accomplished in the past is irrelevant to who is the better rider today, and Dominguez is consistently the best rider on the NYRA circuit today. Just look at who's riding these guys. Name one outfit presently for whom Prado rides first call.
