I think she rides OK. She's a lot better than most apprentices I have seen over the last few years though Aldo Arboleda is OK as well.

It's good to see a woman rider getting a chance.

Spent some time last night looking at replays of horses ridden by Channing Hill and Ariel Smith. She already finishes better than the former, and is a better judge of pace than the latter. So, YEAH, she's looking real good right about now.

One thing is clear....she's ten thousand times better than Stewie Elliot. He just lost a race at Aqueduct, the seventh, that no other rider on earth could have lost.

No kidding. I was eating my racing form after that one. 3 out of 4 in the pick 4 made it even better.

That's some mojo! Now, if you put up the Washington Generals and they win, it may get scary.
