Snicker - snicker.
Did anyone catch the ride by the most overrated rider in history in Aqueduct's third race today? He was riding a 3-5 closer in a five horse field. He was following the horse moving to the lead two or so wide towards the stretch and instead of angling around, as any sane person would have done, he did the cutesy duck inside and split move, FOR NO LOGICAL REASON OTHER THAN TO APPEAR CUTE, and got totally packaged and didn't even run second! I am sorry I wasn't at Aqueduct today as even the few fans must have gone berserk. Before commenting, please watch this race, as it is incredible. Oh, yeah, I am alive with the 10-1 winner in the Pick-3, so absolutely no sour grapes whatsoever. I find this guy to be one of the greatest mirages in history. A decent rider, getting incredible mounts, against a VERY weak colony.

His ride on Rob Roy brought tears to my eyes in the Breeders Cup. Mirage is too nice.

It was so remarkable as to be jaw-dropping... Jaw-droppingly, head-shakingly, speechless-inducing remarkable. In a five horse field yet...

You have to watch this race. Honestly.....describing it can't do it justice. It should lead off Sportscenter.

I'll watch inside racing at 5:30 tonight. Otherwise I won't be able to catch it.

At least this made you stop picking on Chantal Sutherland for a little while.

I saw the race and actually laughed. I needed the 2 to hold on but I was so mesmerized by RD's horse ramming his nose up my horse's rear 12 or 15 times that I didn't even see the 1 go by.
All I can say is I've watched dozens of horse tip out 3 wide off that same trip at the top of the stretch over the past few weeks and they almost invariably lose big ground by the time they straighten out. Has to be what, if anything, he was thinking. Last edited by Kasept : 01-11-2007 at 02:11 PM.
