Overrated Jockeys

In my opinion the best turf rider out there, and I know I may be stretching a bit, but he consistently finishes, and is usually a fair price. Aside from the obvious Johnny V., Prado and Solis I think Castellano is the new wave of star jocks, along with my favorite frenchman Laparoux.

Mig "spotty"??

The guy has ridden on the biggest premire circuit in the world for the last 25 years. A "spotty" rider does not do that.

And have you seen some of the sh!t the mig has had to put up with. He's got more metal in him than the Terminator. And on top of that hes been on some pretty bad horses as of late, but I am sure that he will still be in the top 8 at saratoga. He does it almost every year.

So do tell me how he is a "spotty" rider.
