Normally, I would have agreed....but after the Arlington meet he had where you can find several horses who he actually kept from winning by being a cocky *******, he's not quite at the top of my list anymore.

Tim Thorton is the best damn rider on this circuit, bar none, he just doesn't get the mounts, although he is starting to.

I doubt it. That's just my guess. But I'm pretty confident she'll be around if she wants to be around because I think she keeps lots of these mounts. It's not like five pounds is what's making her good...and by and large she's still not "getting mounts," she's riding horses who shouldn't be winning in the first place. It's not like she's picking up Rene Douglas-style mounts thanks to her bug and heading to post at 9-5 all the time...she's riding middle of the road horses and making something of them more than she should be whether it's on 20-1 shots in $4K claimers or 3-1 shots in allowance races, she gives you the same race no matter what.
