Best Ride Of The Day

[The Bid]

Anything Frankie sat on.

Castro did a great job getting Miesques Approval clear outside down the stretch in the Mile. I thought his ride was one of the better one's even though he gambled a little going wide.

Your mouth wasn't so big when the Midas Eyes, on 10 days rest, won big at Stga.

BOS could have won the Cigar and gone out a winner (I had it on the table 24 hrs to post). I do not know anything about stud value but I guess yesterday's race was as a good as a win in the Cigar (personally, I don't give a damn). I got plenty of money and I'd rather win a race than finish a GOOD third in the BC.

First of all, I was obviously teasing you, and said so in a later post. But, to be perfectly honest, how could you not expect at LEAST some ribbing after starting a thread claiming he was scratching a few days ago?

What does Midas Eyes winning the Forego, as a very logical horse, have to do with this. Any sane person knew he was at least a strong contendor that day.

Yesterday's effort did little to nothing for his stud value, which apparently aint much considering he keeps being unretired because they can't get a deal, and if you think he was beating Discreet Cat in the Cigar you apparently are watching two very different horses than the ones that have been competing on racetracks. Badge of Silver is a nice horse that has never lived up to his ridiculous early hype, probably more than partly due to injuries, and he ran pretty well yesterday IN THE CONTEXT OF THE RACE....but sorry if I am unimpressed with the overall quality of that field.

hands down frankie is the best jockey in the world right now, whether its turf or dirt the guys just flat out sick

[Crown@club]

Borel's ride was excellent gutsy move to stay on the rail to take the lead when it didn't look like he had it.

Fidel was awesome bringing MA home.

I'd say Detorri is by far one of the Best Jockey's in the world. He is used to pressure races, as all he ever does is race in world class stakes events around the world. He doesn't choke. He used to mutiple variables, and clearly knows how to rate a horse, get clearance and make a move at the most appropriate time. if the horse doesn't win, it's rarely because he moved to soon, or didn't get room.

I hope he gets more recognition in the US. Would be nice to see him race one meet in the US.
