Default Great finish to DMR jock race

In case you missed it:

• Rosario and Bejarano combine to win the first five races of the day, leaving them tied 56-56
• Both get blanked from there until the final race on the card
• In the finale, Bejarano and Papa Lev strike the front in midstretch, only to be taken over by Valenzuela and Sammartino
• Just as it appears as if neither jock will win outright, Rosario and Tiz Argent come absolutely flying to nail Sammartino in the last stride by a short head
• Rosario wins the riding title by a hair, 57-56

Sounds exciting.

I missed the race cause I was still kicking myself for thinking JPs Gusto was beatable.

To the disgust of many I shall say it again... it sucked losing both Tyler and Talamo.

Clearly, the best finisher in the country. And he's probably the most difficult jock to pass in the lane, as well.

As a COMEDIC change of pace, I can offer Chantal's ride on the 9 in the 8th at WO

I don't know if you're kidding or not, but one thing for sure is he tries hard every time, and rides hard too.

I don't think he's kidding. Rosario is tons the best of that colony. That's not saying much, but still.

How many finish better than Rosario? Gomez? Okay, I would agree that Gomez probably finishes better than anyone. Beyond him the list is small. Rosario is one of the best in the US in the lane.

he did close unbelievably, but I think the break actually helped ( or didn't hurt ) due to the pace of the race.
