As to the other jockeys who didn't fare well, that doesn't factor into the debate. Calvin is supposed to Mr. Churchill. He had 8 shots at it both days and couldn't nail a win. Isn't he expected to do better at CD than other jockeys? He went in Friday with 7 0-0-0.
But, you're right - let's wait and see how he handles the CD meet. Maybe he can keep his title of "one track jockey".

what would it take? A major spill and 2 guys being dumped for it to be serious! There's a reason javi was taken down. there arent different levels of being reckless!
i was merely adding clarity and substance to your argument about BC weekend and the supposed decline.
Friday...Ack Ack--2nd
bc mar...3rd
Who says he is Mr. Churchill? The media and fans do. All i am saying is he hasnt asked for that. who cares if he is a "one track jockey," most jocks are no track jocks. the great ones separate themselves in this area.
He had very little support at Toga and had a bad meet which byk pointed out several times on ATR which i suspect fuels part of your argument. Personally, i do not think he is a great jock, but i do respect him and the honesty he brings to his owners.
who knows, there may be some truth to his decline, but i dont think anyone really cares about the midget wrestling incident except pansies and espn types.
