Good suggestion. Bailey is the best jockey of the last 30 years.

Join the recent past rather than the history book. The last 20 years...or Jonny Longden...you want to go back to then? They didn't have DVD's in the "old days"
Baffert obviously thinks highly of Bailey to cite his riding career as an example of a great jockey...THE money jockey. Enough credibility. More than you.

But it wasn't like Bailey was exactly Baffert's money jockey when Bailey was riding.

Any chance that the Bafferts, Gomez, and Espinoza can be guests on a single edition of ATR in the near future?

Even if that hole wouldnt have tightened up where the heck did Gomez think he was going , and secondly he was already more than 3/4 of the way up in there he actually put himself and his horse in more danger by checking and pulling out than if he would have just let his horse keep moving. I think Gomez saw that he had no where to go because there was a horse right on front of him so instead of putting the blame on himself for driving up into a switch he checks the head off his horse and puts the blame on Victor.

I think you would probably say Stevens was his guy if any one person was. Baffert always seems to spread around his horses and jockeys seem to fall in and out of favor with him.

Bailey was aboard Captain Steve in the DWC, and Roman Ruler in the Haskell, but I don't remember him winning many other big races for Baffert. If I associate any jockey with Baffert when Baffert was at the top, it would be Gary Stevens.

I agree with you. Don't forget Congaree though.

Baffert also used a lot of West Coast riders when his horses ran on the East Coast. Except for Congaree, I don't know if Bailey rode too many horses for Baffert in SoCal.
