It doesn't make up for all the botch jobs he has had on the inner this winter many of which have cost me good $$. The guy just puts in some inexplicable rides, he is a horrible rider.

Look. Jara just happens to be the board's favorite whipping boy. He's not any worse than a ton of other jocks out there. Watch R Baze at GG, for example, and tell me he doesn't blow more races than Jara. Or, would you want Jara or Hill in NY?

Most of these guys are basically idiots who can't even replicate a successful ride on a regular basis. In this sense, they're worse than dogs. You can't train these mother****ers; they transcend logic/science. Even someone with a brain like the Mig gets exposed in the aforementioned race.

I can't disagree what you have said here, but that doesn't make me any less PO'd when I have money on a horse and watch Jara put in that type of ride. Jara is more frustrating to me than most of the others since he inexplicably gets more quality rides than he deserves from guys like Pletcher and McLaughlin and it seems to me that the frequency of of me losing my $%it after watching a Jara botch job burning my money is much higher than than Hill, etc. He is among the worst even in this weak winter colony.
