I could ride better than 5 of the 6 you mentioned. I happen to like Quinonez on the turf.

I'm with you Quinonez, actually, on either surface.

Chavez and Jose Espinoza would clean up at a place like Tampa. Alonso Quinonez would win the riding title by a landslide. Delgadillo would be dangerous if they carded some 870 yd races.

I don't disagree with any of that, especially this year. Weakest colony in quite some time.

Homemeister 7%, Luis Gonzalez 0%.... Daniel Coa 18%, The Guid, over 20%.... Over/Under on Centeno's return when they start riding 5 days a week? My bet is 5 minutes, give or take...

Quinonez would win the riding title here, I agree completely... Espinoza is as average as the rest of this colony - Delgadillo would improve with better horses IMO, but is no better than Mike Allen

I'm sure you have had this convo with Bigs too, but The Guid has A LOT of Kent D. in him. If his horse has no shot, not a chance in hell he is riding to the line.

I'm shocked watching Tampa races seeing the number of jocks that still try to save ground on the far turn...the rail is death

Who needs literacy when you could watch the replays of horses swimming, regularly, down at the rail...

Today's 3rd race a perfect example as a 6-5 glued to the rail and a 9-5 off the rail run down by a 13-1 shot angled wide past the midpoint of the turn.
