Worst Ride of the Year

[the_fat_man]

DUMBASS ride by Coa: steered her behind horses when he could've followed the winner out entering the stretch.

Hard to figure out the NY jocks. They ride as if the rail is golden on the AQU and SAR turf course; AND, have even begun doing the same thing at BEL. They might take some lessons from the CRC jocks, who ride an, at least, equally speed biased turf (assuming that is the argument) and, while consistently contributing some of the most ridiculous rides one could want, AT LEAST have the smarts to GET OUTSIDE for the stretch run. No real excuse for getting blocked on the turf in NY (except if you're behind Castellano, and he's obstructing, as usual).

Check out Coa's ride on her in May at Belmont, if you thought today's ride was ridiculous. You'll shake your head again.

I beat her that day with Blitzen Too; so, I'm not sympathetic (though I am appreciative) in that particular case.

No need to check a replay on the winning rides, We all have idyllic memories with those. As I will remember Pedro's ride at Hol, and it's about time today!

Here is a nominee (s),

First race at Hol yesterday, Primed and Poised.......complete stiff job

or on Thursday in the 7th, David Flores on Fanatical

With the end of the year closing in, Rex Stokes threw his name in the ring Sunday at TWP. His ride on Nolans Territory in the 6th was priceless. Worth watching for the guys that think that Jocks don't matter and " it's horse racing not jockey racing." NT should have won by at least 5 lengths.

Anyone have Pastel Gal in the 5th yesterday? Remembered this thread, she was on my horsewatch however I forgot to bet her.
