Did you see this ride??

Sounds like a Kent D impersonation.

[blackthroatedwind]

He doesn't look great on a horse, but at least unlike many guys impersonating jockeys out at Aqueduct right now, he goes to the lead and looks to stay inside.

On that horse today, I think he was just looking to see how far in front he was, so that he could handle the horse carefully. He's a $7K claimer, the bottom of the barrel in NY, and may well have issues. He was probably just being careful. But, I can't disagree with the original post, it certainly looked a little odd.

I actually have a real respect for the guy. He works horses in the morning and I see him at the track all the time. He must really love the game. I can relate.

There should be a thread stickied for bad rides...

Race 4 Aqueduct

The wizard Alan Garcia tries to get through on the rail and decides after two checks that it's wise to go to the outside. Loses by a head at most. Unbelievable how ignorant these guys are at Aqueduct.

That is why he is riding at Aqueduct in the winter.

The only thing worse than some of these trips lately is arguing about them with the idiots over at my local OTB.

The absolutely most IRONIC ride of the YEAR has to be Ariel Smith, today, on Alpha Charmer. He gets STUCK INSIDE, so he can't do that pathetic sweeping premature move of his on the turn, comes out entering the stretch RESOUNDINGLY bumping the runner up off stride, then is weaving through the CLEAR lane as if he's drunk.

that was tough!!! i'm not a big better and had a 6 dollar pick 3 ticket with that race as the last leg, and it was paying like 205 bucks for a dollar. I sat at my table at Emerald with steam coming out of my ears!! a little karma though, hit the early double at FG about 2 minutes later.

Not as bad as a buddy of mine did. I popped into OTB quick yesterday to throw money in my acct. when I noticed Patty's Combination was running. I thought the horse had a few tough trips in the past so I boxed her in some exactas with a bunch in that race. Well anyway, this guy T who E-Posse and HHH know as well had $50 to win on the 4. Man oh Man he went freaking nuts. He's quite the eccentric as it is, but it was hilarious. What made it worse was the fact that I showed him before the race that I liked the 6. With 11 MTP the 6 was 11-1. It drifted up to 31-1. Nice hit for me, although the 4 was without question the best horse in the race.
