[quote=DaHoss9698]While I agree with you for the most part, jocks do have somewhat an impact on what goes on. You can't tell me Johnny V, or Gomez ride the same as Clive Beech (Finger Lakes jock, and trust me, you'll be able to pick his style out right away).

No order

Robbie Albarado, I despise the man as a jock. He gets horses beat, and I can never catch the guy.

Chantal Sutherland, an easy target, and an obvious one. But in all reality, she isn't really a good jock, plain and simple. She's hot, but she can't ride a lick.

Kent D., besides being an ass hole, I can't stand the guy as a rider.


lol well this is a absolute first! somer, oracle, kasept,scc, anybody whove ive known for 5+ years since espn mark this down this is a MONUMENTAL occasion im actually going to defend kent d! i met kent along time ago and have talked to him a couple times in person since when hes come into chicago to ride! hes notta *******! yes he is overconfident about his riding ability but as a person hes a very nice guy

Any jockey that doesnt win when you need him or her too. Thats the most lousy jockey.

Blaming jockeys is a common way out of hiding the fact that you made a horrendous betting decision.

Lets keep it real here folks. Dont blame the oompa lumpas, blame yourself.

lets face it jockeys do make mistakes from time to time and are the cause of some horses losing but not as often as some seem to think. some people think they dont matter at all when in fact they do in my opinion. 85% horse 15% rider in my book

Playa its funny that you should say that, because you notice I have kept the Kent D bashing down myself for the same reason as you. He rode my friend's cheap claimer at Aqueduct back in April, and I met him for the first time in the walking ring and hes one hell of a nice guy, he was polite and nice and actually seemed somewhat intelligent(after being he victim over the years of so many of his horrendously stupid rides, I found this startling. I was expecting a guy who drueled and couldn't form complete sentences).
I still thought his ride on Relaxed Gesture easily qualified for worst stakes ride of the year though up here at Saratoga. That was a disaster of epic proportions.
