Maybe Maragh, and thats just on that Fla-NY circuit. Is he even that much better then Corny or a guy like Cohen that Todd is throwing bones 2.
Lose lose? How so? He still rides for Zito, Chad Brown, Carlos Martin, Tom Proctor, etc. He had a bad...okay, really bad meet. No one is denying that. But to act like a 25 year old jock's career is over because of a bad meet is ridiculous.

Here are the stats for Gulfstream this past winter.

http://www.gulfstreampark.com/RACING...ll+Statistics/

Lezcano rode more winners than Velazquez, Garcia, maragh and Leparoux. He won at a rate of 18%. Leparoux was 13%.

Here are the stats for the Spring Belmont meet.

http://www.equibase.com/premium/eqbT...AT=J&STYLE=BEL

Lezcano won with 23% of his mounts and was 4th in wins despite riding many fewer horses than many of the top jocks.

Again, he had a bad meet. His career is far from over.

100% correct, but why bother? Dude obviously lost a wager on Fly Down and hopefully, he and the other Lezcano detractors don't ever wager on a horse he is riding again.

It was plain to see he wasn't riding well. What's so difficult about factoring that into your handicapping?

Sure, and after I did that, this guy somehow channels Eddie Arcaro, or the Smashing Lad, William Buick, with the perfect ride he gave Keertana in the feature

He got lucky. He is clearly incompetent. As an aside to the race, I wonder if Durkin will ever learn to properly pronounce Kiawah Cat?

You really think this is about handicapping?

He should go back and look at the Travers and many other threads before he makes stupid comments. I basicley tossed everyone but the cold exacta, a week before the race.
