I'm sure it breaks their little hearts that they don't get as many compliments as they do criticisms. Poor Robbie...he must be crying in his mansion. :rolleyes:

He rode a perfect turf ride, saved ground, swung out into the lane. he had no traffic, and Seattle was incorrect on his first post, Mystery Giver was passed late, not the other way around.
And his ride in the 9th was also fine. The horse to the inside dug in. Come on, I can't stand jocks as much as the next guy, but sometimes you just get beat. this was the two of those times. You want to see a horrible ride, Sunday Mar 25th, Aqueduct race 3. Jean Luc Samyn on the 1, now that is getting your horse beat, not what Albarado did. But this is a typical Seattle wanting attention thread. Good job, mission accomplished.

He should never have lost the 9th race.That is simply a case of one jock wanting it more,and floating out to take a shot at intimidating a horse who is better than his.There is zero doubt in my mind that Albarado had the best horse.Jocks decided that one.

Look up Epic Power and his race a week or two ago. Nakatani ruined my day with that ride. You would have to be a robot to not get upset over a ride like that. What really tops it off is the connections brought the horse back Sunday and Nakatani was back on him.

Frankly, there needs to be many more fines in this game because the recklessness and/or stupid decisions these jocks make on a daily basis is outrageous.

I want you to look at where these 2 horses were when the announcer has finished saying ZARB...When he said "JAMES GRAHAM ON ST.ZARB,and Robby Alavarado on..."........Now look where (on the track) they finish up.This horse started coming out enough to intimidate this horse.It's the same thing Laffit did when he pushed John Henry out in the '82 Big CAP. This is New Orleans,and they aren't gunna take anybody down unless they knock somebody down.Means if your getting forced out,then you must hold your ground,or you won't get by.

I understand what you are saying about intimidating but it happens dozens of times everyday. It's not like Albarado isn't riding hard and the horse had every chance to go by. He didn't. Like I said, the horses do the running. It's not all jockey, as long as the jock gives the horse the best chance he can to win, I can't blame the ride. This is what happened here. And seriously Scuds, watch the other race he's talking about. What was wrong with that ride?

I am not saying he did anything wrong on Mystery Giver.He blew this ride in the 9th though.There is no hole to run in at the top of that stretch.He wastes some horse there (as well.)He had the better horse and was outridden.Simple as that.Either one of these 2 things(not trying to go through a hole that wasn't there,or not letting Graham float out on him with the Pincay Big Cap trick.) I don't particularly care that he didn't win,but he had the horse to win.Did not get it done,and didn't fight for it as hard as Graham did.The reason this horse doesn't go by is because he is anticipating this horse to keep coming out.Robby let this guy dictate where they were gunna end up on the track.

The title of this thread STILL has me laughing hysterically:D :D
But you could insert any jockey's name in there.

Scuds I cannot make a case for Hallway (Albarado) being the better horse; either through the use of the past perfromances or in the actual running. True Jimmy was whacking left handed but jocks generally hit with the opposite hand to where the challenge is coming. The winner (St. Zarb) is a nice horse but Robbie had a whole track to get by and was held. The winner has now won three in a row. BBB
