Thank you for enlightening me to Fernando JARA. I heard you talking about his quality ride on Jazil in his 1st KY Derby and have been keeping an eye on him ever since. I managed to catch him on Cat's a Rockin' and along with the Ex. managed to pick up a C-note before even seeing this forum. I'd like to claim some brilliant handicapping prowess...but the fact is I have a "Rockin" cat and you tipped me off to Jara. Sometimes it IS better to be lucky than smart.
Jara sure appears to be a Up-and-comer...I only wonder why he doesn't seem to get many mounts.
Thanks again for the quality info. here and at A T R +B

Jeff..

My pleasure and thanks for joining Derby Trail.. I liked Jara from Day 1, Pablo Morales too.. Jara's agent is Randy Romero, and given his disabled status, it has to be hard for him to really get around to all the trainers and "work" the backstretch for mounts. That may contribute to Jara not getting the best mounts.

He'll keep working his way up the ladder... Kieran McLaughlin thinks VERY highly of him, and that is about is as good an endorsement a jockey is going to get!
