After his mind-bogglingly incompetent ride on Musket Man - I decided to look at his stats again even though I remembered them as being close to average.

They are alarmingly terrible in dirt routes - and this has been his worst year of all.

2010: 23 for 173 - $0.93 ROI
2009: 62 for 365 - $1.42 ROI
2008: 41 for 365 - $1.24 ROI
2007: 42 for 347 - $1.35 ROI
2006: 30 for 251 - $1.25 ROI

over 1,500 rides and over a 36% loss on the betting dollar in total. That's losing almost 2.5% times takeout - and even on his very best year, he lost double the rake.

I can't get over how many dummies I've read on facebook saying JRV cost QR the Whitney with his flawless ride .... yet, Musket Man got a ride that's simply too bad to believe...and it's like no one even notices.
