well tell me what is ramon in the tc's races , what is he in the breeders cup

why can't he win those races when he is not on the best horses - all the great jocks won races when the whole world was watching on derby day , preakness day , belmont day and bc day and they won multiple times

no one besides the die hard racing fans here will remember what grade 1 he won in aug or mar or jan 20 yrs from now , nobody cares , the casual racing fan cares about what you do on the 4 big days a year and so far he is 1 for whatever

when the whole world is watching he has done nothing but lay egg after egg on derby day and bc day - maybe someday he will win those big races

if todd is going to get crucifed on here by people for his lack of resutls in the big spot on derby day and the other jewlels and the bc , ramon deserves as much until he starts winning the big races
So basically, you throw out the entire year of racing and deterime how good a jockey is based on how they do in about 17 races (The TC & the BC). The guy could win almost %25 of the time and be in the money over %55, but since he is 0-fer the TC/BC he is not an elite jock. This is really some vendetta you have against him, huh? Your logic/thinking on this on is mind boggling.
