Cheers and jeers - the jockey version
 

Cheers to Joe Talamo for his five wins last Thursday at Del Mar. Awesome job!

Anyone have one?

C'mon you know you want to. :p

Cheers to Junior Alvarado. Just comes out and does his job while flying under the radar.

Cheers to Brian Hernandez on his first stakes winner and doing it at Saratoga.

As Doug pointed out though in another thread, it's crazy to get too high or low on any jockey.

jeers to rosie for finishing like a girl..too many times..:mad:

Jeers to Graham Gibbons who, much as many of us might delight in smacking Jamie Spencer, intentionally hit him with his whip at Goodwood.

Naughty, naughty.

Cheers to Dylan Davis as he began his jockey career yesterday at the Spa!! Will be interesting to see how he developes..............

cheers to jockey Hector Rosario Jr....this must have been one great ride he gave this guy's horse

Here's the chart...

Do you see anything in here that warrants murder?

Just curious. It could well be some kinda shall we say personal issue I suppose.

As Bobcat Jim cannot speak I will post this in his stead as, apparently, he didn't think too highly of his jock...

Cheers to Martin Garcia who got his 1,000th win today.

Cheers for Daniel Vergara in winning 2 races (4 percent jock for the whole year) today including the hopeless 60-1 bomb in the last race that created the $145k 5 of 6 payoff.

Cheers to Irad Ortiz Jr. for riding his way to multiple G1's at the Spa. I'd also like to thank Julien Leparoux for giving the best horse in a few races some real headscrathing rides. He made me some $ by doing so.

Jeers to Mike Smith who kept Royal Delta WAYYYYY out of trouble by blowing the turn into the lane in the Personal Ensign. Junior Alvarado rides, she wins!

Whether it's good or bad is subjective but it could be the Franz Ferdinanad moment in terms of a jockey strike...

Oh, Danny Boy:

The Danny saga continues...

:eek::eek::eek::eek:

I don't know if you're following the Smoking Aces stuff (aka the race fixing scandal) but Danny is very popular in the press these days.

jeers for Mike Smith, who all of a sudden has become a money rider over the summer and I think only one once with Royal Delta in Delaware. The rest of his rides have been disasters.

Cheers for Corey Nakatani seems to be quietly winning things all over the country

More Danny fun:

"... and racing would be better off without him".

2 year ban for Danny...

cheers for journeyman Brice Blanc for getting the ride on Mr. Commons after commuting an hour or so just to work the horse during the summer
