If he wins - will they put him in the Hall of Fame?

Alex Solis has made an entire career out of being about the 5th-to-12th best rider in the room on the So. Cal circuit. Unlike Jorge Chavez, he's never won a KY Derby - unlike Jorge Chavez - he's never won an eclipse for outstanding jockey.

How big of a joke is it that Alex Solis almost got in last year ... and Ghostzapper (unarguably the best horse in the last 12 to 15 years - and unquestionably the best horse Frankel ever trained) didn't even make the 'nomination to vote on' cut?

This is pretty solid trolling Shelby, so I'll bite.

Solis has racked up over $220 million in purses by being the 5th-12th best rider in So Cal? I laughed.

Solis missed winning the '97 Derby by a pimple. He's won pretty much every big race here (except for the Derby 'sup Stewart Elliot) and a Dubai World Cup.

So what if Borel only trails him by a hundred million or so in purses for his career, he won the Arkansas Derby on a longshot, so let's vote him in.
