I did not see the race,but the only thing i can tell you is when Mike Smith first came here from New Mexico you could find him on the rail all the time saving ground.Julie Krone was the same way.I still remember a race where she got bottled up and had no place to go with a horse of Mike Hernandezs.She was tons the best but i had no reason to complain.She won enough races for me with those same exact rides.After some bad falls and everybody remembers them, both jockeys never rode the same way.In fact i'll have to say Smith was even worse than.The amazing thing was Jerry Bailey,i can never remember him in a really horrific spill.There will be days Ramon will win you races by saving ground and i'm sure there will be no complaints then.
