Default early nomination for worst ride of the year

F Jara on the #7 in the 2nd race yesterday at NY

It looked like he was playing bumper cars out on the belt pkwy the 1st 50 yrds of the race

Comes flying late , was much the best going wide , misses by 3/4 length

Ramon gives great rides more often than bad ones.

Jara...well, not much left to say.

Wasn't the horse a firster and doesn't that count for anything Marty?

I don't understand what was so bad about the ride, and I played her. She bobbled at the start, was a little wide and made a strong move in the stretch. She was a firster, sometimes the light doesn't go on right away. Plus who knows what instructions Jara got. Why do you think it was so brutal?

she more than bobbled at the start she collided into the 8 , just brutal down the backstretch like bumper cars on the belt pkwy

the winner had everything go right , if jara got this horse cleanly out she wins by 10

Garcia's impersonation of Fast Freddie Fong Jr. aboard Desert Lord at GP in the 4th on Saturday. Few jocks can screw up a ride just enough to create a bridesmaid out of a horse that was easily much the best.

First of all, Ramon never stopped riding the horse. Secondly, the horse was lugging in badly, which is why he had a slight problem late. None of it was Ramon's fault. He rode the horse extremely well.....as he does with virtually all his mounts.

The ride on the third finisher was the poor one....though rating Mr. Dr. Professor was an odd decision and was probably the single biggest determinent in the final finish.

he stopped riding the horse when he got off , the question is when did he stop trying?

SA 1/17/10 R5:

BRIDGING

Hard to figure out exactly what Quinonez is doing during the stretch run (the headon is most telling). Hard to resist thinking that he's just flat out retarded or spastic after watching this. What's with all the twirling of the reins? Put the horse outside and get it in a strong drive.

Perfect setup for this one at 8:1 and Quinonez rides like a woman with MS and blows it.

This is one bad ride.

I was catching up on some replays of races I missed today and I just had to resuscitate this thread in honor of Jose Lezcano's ride on Just Playin Around (MTH R8).

Way to go, Jose.

Yeah, he's a very fine jock.
