Default Just in case anyone still thinks Prado can ride

make sure to check out his gem on Contentious last out.

While there, note how easy a trip the winner gets (with all the in-a-hurry idiots knocking each other out)

it just keeps getting worse and worse with Edgar.

looked like he lost control a little and let the horse bolt a little on the backstretch

Nice.

My cup runneth over with responses from all my IGGY BIN boys.

One hits a 3:1 pick 4 once a year YET is the turf specialist

The other is trying to revolutionize the sport while remaining clueless as to its nuances

Another has no opinion but must be constantly heard

And, our newest member feels the need to constantly quote all of them.


Good thing I value all their opinions so highly.

That ride was a chuckle.....no doubt.

I have always been a big fan of Prado but he is not riding at the top of his game.

The gutless wonder is back after taking a month and a half sabatical because he was, apparently, ashamed that he told everyone Big Brown had no shot.

Why did that bother you? You've had nothing but horrendous opinions all over the net. Nothing here. Nothing at Pace Advantage. However, I did enjoy your recent Pick-4 disaster on the Del Mar Forum.

Many rivers to cross but I can't seem to find my way over.

Of course. He's just not riding as well as he's capable of. The bottom line is that he gets good mounts and he still pretty much wins when he should.

I dont watch him enough to see if he has gone downhill or not, but isnt still in great demand to ride in the big races by top trainers?

I know what you mean, I see plenty of dumb rides from gogo, johnny v, and prado who are widely considered the best we have to offer.

I just hate to be the guy that bashes Tiger woods because he missed a ten foot putt.

I don't pay that much attention to be honest but I feel like Gomez is the best rider out there. Then again, maybe I'm just partial to him because he stopped me in the Clubhouse at Saratoga last year to tell me how much he likes the Siro's Seminars.

The again, Johnny almost hit a guy once who gave me a bag of sh it on an airplane.....and I never defend his riding. But, I like him.

gomez is far from the best... he is easily the most overated though.
we could go on for days about who the best is, there is really no way to tell, because trainers go hot/cold all the time, and when that happens, its sometimes not the jocks fault. as for gomez, IMO i would rather have... JV, kent, coa, julian l.... thats just 4, im sure there are more.

After seeing your top 15 jock list a ways back, Im not so sure anyone can take what you say seriously when it comes to riders. Horses too for that matter.

I wasn't thrilled with Gomez' ride on Jazzy.

I guess you're right, it takes skill to find trouble and get trapped on the rail in a 5-horse field.

LOL... yeah, is a bag of sh it considered carry-on? I'd think you would have to check that.
