Pete - Yeah, that was sort of my point - he never got into a rhythm, and never really got any decent mounts as a result of his commitment to the meeting and that there were better jocks that were more familiar with the surface and were committed to sticking around... It wasn't like trainers were looking to displace first call riders to give him a leg up on a live mount when he'd be gone 6 weeks later and would have pissed off a top flight jock in the process..

I see the same thing happening with Borel @ GP... No one is going to risk damaging a relationship with a top flight rider to give him anything live...

I love the strong opinions. He's won 3 Kentucky Derbies. Quite frankly he could fall off every f.ucking horse from here on out and he would still be one of the most talked about jockeys in the history of American racing.

Yeah he's below average in many aspects of life. It's part of his charm. Deal with it.

Horse Racing needed that. Actually needs more of it. I'd like to see him slap Baffert in front of his kid.

Maybe he'll pull a "Mongo" on a horse.
