It's kind of lame that a single jockey can earn over 4k points in one month under the current scoring system - but a horse gets only 2K for a Grade 1 win.

If not for the Parker injury ... I'm convinced my FreddyMo and TheFatMan entries would be in a stretch duel and finish a clear cut 1-2.

What place is your RockHardTen1985 entry in?

This is a free contest, yes? This is not a tough 10k beat. You lost nothing. Time maybe.

Jockey Tyler Pizarro has suffered a broken collar bone and will be sidelined four to six weeks, according to his agent and sister, Kerry Beauclaire. Pizarro, who stands seventh in races won at the meeting with 30 and ninth in money won with $1.3 million, was involved in a spill during Saturday's 10th race at Woodbine.

I still don't see anything written anywhere about Parker's injury.

The guy had won 177 races and wasn't even riding in Jan or Feb.

He was a 1/20 favorite to lead the nation in wins by a jockey.. and he's black.

Who is the last black jockey to lead the nation in wins?
