Default Jose Lezcano

Amazing performance in the 1st at Belmont. His mount Westside Corral clipped heels as they approached the turn and he nearly went down. He somehow managed to stay on, got himself situated again and ended up winning the race.

That really was something. For what it's worth, Lezcano is the only jockey with 500 or more mounts at Belmont between 2009 and 2010 who has a positive ROI. Incidentally, Clement is the only trainer who has 200 or more starters during that same period with a positive ROI.

Threads like this make me miss the Fat Man. I'm sure he would have had a grossly inappropriate, and irrelevent, response that we all would have enjoyed.

We still have Alan and Somerfrost and maybe with a little guidance they can add in some of these and words like IDIOT.

Granted it won't quite capture the essence of TFM but it might help fill the void.

Yeah, he sure did love those smileys.

I always felt his wrath when he used them.

I always felt like he was having trouble breathing when he used them... like he was getting so pissed he was about to have a heart attack.

TRAKUS is finally being used at CHD. It is about time those MORONS got something right. Now if only NYRA would stop being IDIOTS and get with the times.

F'n Castellano better not herd in this next race.

If you had called him a punk this might have been perfect.

When you are done, can you draw up some Fat Charts for that?

Beyerite idiots. Clipping heels probably won him the race.

I'm with you...I found him to be a terrific entertainer.

I hadn't thought of that. Because he was in a position to clip heels in the first place, that means he must have saved much energy drafting behind that horse he clipped heels with.

By the way, to those who might take me seriously, ala Hockey or Vol Jack, I was being facetious in my previous post.

Didn't that also make Seattle Mission the beaten favorite for 5 straight races?
