Solis was probably a very hard worker - and certainly seems to have a great personality. He also rode a lot of short prices in cheaper type races. He'd even ride Fairplex a little.

I always viewed Chavez as sort of like an east coast version of Nakatani and Solis.

Chavez:

* leading rider in New York for 6 consecutive years from 1994 through 1999

* Won 12 riding titles at NYRA meets

* Leading rider at Gulfstream in 1989, 1999, 2000 and 2001

* Eclipse award for years outstanding jockey in 1999

* 2001 Kentucky Derby win on Monarchos
