The ever INNOVATIVE Kent D
Kent always does things his own way and he's always forging new 'trends' in riding. His newest is the WIDE trip on the pacesetter (especially on the turf). This is where rather than keeping the horse as close as possible to the rail, he has it WIDE. Now, this has caught on nicely with the rest of the idiots, and Prado and Johnny V (who shits his pants at the thought of actually going INSIDE a horse) are also starting to use it. Of course, when others use it, they try to get to the rail by the turn. Kent doesn't care: he stays WIDE through the turn and the stretch. **** saving ground.
Example: today's 3rd on Jazz Nation. Kent's in the 4 path and Johnny V is to his outside. :zz: I mean, in a way I can understand how he wants to take some of the advantage away from the drafters; but the cost is just not worth it, as it completely wrecks races. |
horse is going cost me a nice pick 4.... and 4 wide is generous....

Kent is easily one of the ten stupidest human beings I've ever heard speak. |

I guess you have to be stupid to win 5,000 races. the outside turf must be the best today , other good jocks are steering that way to . |

Gosh, I guess your logic is so infallible, that I must be wrong about Kent! I'm going to nominate him for some award that honors his keen intellect. Perhaps, just perhaps, if we are lucky, he can thank God for the award. |

It is a word. Kent is a tard, I doubt his vocabulary is as large as even yours. I'm sticking with your birthday as the trivia answer. |

A wee bit dramatic arent we? He's a friggin jockey not the head of CDI. All he does is ride the horses around the track and you are calling him a symbol of something. |

My point was that his impact or any jockey's impact is truly overrated in regards to an individual race and completely overrated if one is to say that Kent D is "a symbol of much that is wrong in the game today". Kent not following instructions, riding out to the wire or providing feedback really has no impact on the game as a whole. If kent's performance is that bad, trainers wont ride him any longer and the show will go on. |

Kent or any other jockey's impact on the game/sport/industry of horse racing is extremely tiny. He is not a symbol of anything in my opinion. He is a jockey that is extremely skilled and puts in rides that are at times brilliant and at other times baffling. |
Quote:
Meaning if he thinks about his ride, he'll do something stupid, hence the baffling rides. |
hes not right as of late..after he made all that money in the tc hes not riding very well...mott about to comit suicide..needs to dump him and use garcia or corny again........

I agree with you guys...he isnt right and hasnt been for a while.
Let me ask you guys this. Mott has been going through a cold spell (so has zayat for that matter). Do you think that maybe it could be the other way around? Maybe Kent is getting stuck with a bunch of Mott horses that arent in a position to win right now? Mott does employ other riders and its not like any of them are lighting things up right now when they are on Mott horses. Im not saying that this is definitely the case im just wondering if you guys think that it may be a possiblity. |

Personally I thought War Monger should have won Saturday, exactly how long did he need to be strangled into deep stretch before he releases and gets the jump on the closers? :mad:

The timing of his move was perfect; the race dynamics just didn't work out for him. |

I'm gonna slap your present DUMBASS on ignore 'cause I definitely have no use for anything you have to say (as I didn't in the past). At some point, you might STFD and STFU and you just might learn something. |

Without being on Big Brown it is impossible for you or I to know what the horse was feeling like. I would imagine after the Eight Belles tragedy that Kent was going to be a little cautious. How do you know that the owner didnt give him "just in case" instructions? It would be extremely ignorant to think that Kent pulled him up because he didnt feel like riding him out. When I read the critiques on racing forums heaped upon ride after ride I find myself wondering how many critics have EVER been on top of a horse. Sometimes, horses just dont do what you want them to. No matter, if the race doesnt come out like planned, its automatically the jockey's fault. Some rides will be "good" and some "bad" but at the end of the day more times than not the best horse wins. There are basic laws of business. If your gardner is bad and your yard looks like crap, you find a new gardner. If Kent continuously gives bad rides and is this awful symbol, how does he continue to get good mounts? Are all of these people stupid? Bill Mott stupid? When I first got to this site all i ever saw was people beating the crap out of Gomez. Now, I dont ever see a word. Did he suddenly learn how to ride? Or is he just getting better horses? For the record, I am not denying that a ride CAN make a difference in a race. At the same time, the laws of averages kick in. |
