the worst jockeys ever

Also, I think it was 1999, but Inosencio Diego was still a bug and he went 0 for Saratoga with something like 90 mounts I think. I'm not saying he was one of the worst jockeys ever, that was just one of the worst meets ever. It definitely deserves mentioning in a topic based on futility.

He surely makes my list of worst riders. Totally ineffective, seems to not have a clue about how to work out a trip. The thing is he will occasionally have live mounts but he is very adept at keeping them out of the winners circle.

He's on my good jockey list for a little while after riding a $20
winner for me last week in the 1st race at the Thorne

I predict a short-lived stay on that list.

Its the kiss of death for me if I like the horse and then I see Lopez has the mount? I want to immediately toss him but I know there does exist the possibility that one of these days a horse will drag him to the line first despite his best efforts.
