Well she was my only bet on Fri, so I will wear the goat's horns for that one, brutal pick..luckily my best one today(posted, no redboard) came through. All in all I would say the Euro's were somewhat disappointing this yr. Even with 2 wins to their credit.

Of all the jocks this weekend, I can tell you about Gomez and Velazquez and all those guys but the guy that impressed me the most was Rosario. He's come a long way. Rosario rode a great race on Hamazing Destiny for 2nd in the Sprint, not panicking after a bit of a sluggish break that has really compromised that colt in the past, and really rode him well to get 2nd money in the sprint. Then after that he found a way to get Dakota Phone into the winners circle, and rode a pretty heady and smart race on Champ Pegasus. Rosario was very good today.

This just popped into my head, Calvin Bo-Rail was a worst. Without the rail being an advantage like it has been as it was in the last BC, derbies...ect. He was outridden by a journeyman jock that would qualify as a best of...Jamie Theriot. You have to wonder was this communicated by the BC admin to the track super prior to Fri, just throwing that out there. As far as I can remember CD and the rail has always been the place to be.

How was Borel a worst? Did you see his mounts? Other than the Marathon and Juv Fillies - They stunk. And he was hardly riding Caddy's in those two.

Best:

Uncle Mo
Goldikova
Awesome Feather
Todd Pletcher
Zenyatta and Blame
My pick of Shared Account (not the horse herself)
My bankroll
Cool ESPN camera angles (hey, I like most of 'em)
Big Drama

Worst:

Randy Moss and Joe Tessitore's frequent speaking errors
Injuries
Michigan-Illinois
45-minute delay in posting Pick 6 payoff (literally zero websites had this)
Todd Pletcher using the non-word "irregardless" (at least I'm pretty sure he said it)

I kinda liked Attaboyroy also, he knew the rail was dead and that really took away his MO, that has made him the CD jock legend he is, without it he didn't even try to make a difference.

just a couple off the top of my head.
Best
The Classic
Uncle Mo
Goldikova
Big Drama and the ride by Coa
Gomez
Theriot

Worst
Breakdown of rough sailing
The whole Life at Ten fiasco
Not so much the fight, but ESPN continuous loop of it trying to get some people to keep watching
Quality Road
Maragh (he could have stayed at Aqueduct and gave rides like that)

Best:
- Zenyatta not winning
- Uncle Mo
- Goldikova

Worst:
- Tessitore fawning over "Queen Z" more than any person has fawned over a horse since.....Tessitore fawned over Curlin two years ago.
- Lookin at Lucky's last furlong
- The BCTurf

Gomez made a difference yesterday, I know alot of people will say Jockies don't win races but try telling that to the connections of Pluck and Blame today. Imagine if Rajiv Maragh or Jose Lezcano riding these 2, they don't sniff the winner's circle if Gomez wasn't on them.
