A-Rod is a great baseball player (maybe the best in the game over the last 10 yrs) , now he has a ring to go with it - he was hammered by the fans rightfully so because he didn't do it on the big days in the fall with either seattle or the yankees , this year he did it

Ramon is a very good rider , i keep saying that .....is todd not a very good trainer becuase he is 1 for 70 in the TC races , are all those training titles at the spa , belmont ,and elsewhere meaningless because he is 1 for 70 in TC races?
Do you believe that Ramon thought that Sam P had chance to win ? Maybe he just took the mount, because he wants to evetually ride first call for Pletcher. Maybe he realized that he was lucky enough just to have an opportunity to ride in the big race. Maybe he though he really had a shot. Whatever the reason, but you have to be kidding me wanting to hold that over his head and count the fact that he couldn't bring home 43-1 Sam P and that's one of the reasons he's not an elite rider.
