Good suggestion. Bailey is the best jockey of the last 30 years.

Join the recent past rather than the history book. The last 20 years...or Jonny Longden...you want to go back to then? They didn't have DVD's in the "old days"
Baffert obviously thinks highly of Bailey to cite his riding career as an example of a great jockey...THE money jockey. Enough credibility. More than you.

But it wasn't like Bailey was exactly Baffert's money jockey when Bailey was riding.

Any chance that the Bafferts, Gomez, and Espinoza can be guests on a single edition of ATR in the near future?

the monkey was the man , so was the ant man. i'd take either one over bailey in the last 30 years. i still remember when antley won 9 races in one day and he did not get chocolate bars like bailey got. he was great on the turf and brought in horses at a price. i'll never forget when he saved charismatic at the belmont finish. the horse would of won the triple crown if not for breaking his leg. they were saying he was washed up when he should of won the thing.

You do remember that Antley gave Charismatic a HORRENDOUS ride that day?

He was a terrific rider....but not in that race.

yeah, he got caught up in the pace and wide. it seems like the pattern when the triple crown is on the line. santos gave lemon drop a perfect belmont like trip. it was not his best ride but many jockeys have had a case of nerves in that race. day in and day out he was the best though. charismatic was just one of many, many horses he rode that alot of handicappers would say did not have a chance until after the race. following east coast racing and mostly NY, i think he may of been the best rider in my lifetime so far.
