I'm a big Lezcano fan, but I think Joel Rosario has really had a good meet and is riding second best after Dominguez. Then it's probably Junior Alvarado (who I have been way wrong about so far) or Lezcano.

How about Alan Garcia with Photon in Thursday's 8th? Breaks in great position and takes back after sensing the sizzling :24 opening quarter..

It is a tad ironic that this topic came up about a ride in Race 11 after the rides he put forth in the 9th and 10th.

Jockey complaints are usually the sign of a tough meet and discouraged horseplayers. Saratoga has been tough this year. The ride is an easy thing to blame.
That said, I feel in general the rides I've been seeing this summer at Saratoga and beyond have been far from some of the greatest ever. |

But it's hard not to be critical, when you watch these guys totally unprepared or with no game plan at all out there. It's just flat out laziness and if you or I came to work that unprepared everyday we'd be gone within a week. |

the thing is, you never know what he's gonna do at any point in the race. He has some closers into the race early, and snatches some speed types and tries to get them to pass.
