If you compared ROI's - Chavez routinely destroyed him.

It's real easy to forget now - but there were a lot people who would argue Chavez was as good as Bailey and better than Mike Smith and John Velazquez before the Bobby Frankel and Todd Pletcher machine got going like crazy ... the Frankel business went to Bailey - and Mike Smith was first Pletcher's go to guy until JRV took over that role in the very late 90's or maybe 2000.

That earnings stuff is crap imo. It's even worse than riding titles. Guys like Johnny V. can take everything wide and put up horrid ROI numbers on the turf - and they'll still look like champions because he's on Pletcher's best.

Chavez's most powerful client was like John Ward.
