I think Dominguez was always a lot better than Rose.
Dominguez is one of very few jocks that is a real difference maker when he rides a turf route.
Dominguez in turf routes since '99: 437-for-1,832 (23.9% wins) $2.37 ROI
Pretty scary numbers for a jockey. If you simply bet $100 to win on every turf route Ramon has ridden since '99 .. you'd be ahead $33,892 right now.
Rose is an excellent turf jockey as well ... lifetime $1.98 ROI in turf routes .. but Dominguez was a freak. 8 out of 10 years from '99 to '08 he turned a flat bet profit.. and very significant flat bet profits in 6 of those 8 years.
