Arlington newest moron jockey

While I have been estatic that Mr. Laviolette is no longer with us at Arlington Park, Ladies and gentleman, let me introduce to you, Florent Geroux.

All you have to do is watch the replay from Race 7 on Saturday, you will know what horse he is on.

a quick note, the horse that he is on, I have followed for some time, and doesn't act like a jerkoff on the course. I couldn't believe my eyes when I watched this race today.

He shouldn't be allowed on the grounds.

That ride was one for the ages.... the Chicago jockey colony is nothing special, but this guy stands out. I think the only race he has won this meet, he got taken down.

He did win aboard Even Money, in a halfway decent looking maiden race, but has been pretty godawful since.

Got to agree with that Scavs, the was aweful.

Spyder

AeWingnut · #5 06-15-2008, 08:54 AM

he thought he was on Big Brown?

maybe the horse has really bad ankles

blackthroatedwind · #6 06-15-2008, 08:58 AM

I saw the title, I saw the author, and I just assumed Scav had dropped a few and donned silks.

Someone had to say it.

Get off the guys back, maybe he thought the whole inside of the track was dead and the 9 path was moving like a conveyor belt.

You can add Sir David Lee Bourque to this list also. I was smiling all the way to the bank when these clowns were betting him down to 8/5 in the 2nd race yesterday.

And it's funny because I've tended to have middle of the road feelings about Geroux, I don't think he's a really terrible, bad rider by any stretch of the imagination. And in his defense, it's not like he's losing all his races with the same level of pathetic riding that hurt Tom AD yesterday, he doesn't get that many good horses. Still, I've been more than a bit surprised that he hasn't had a bit more success this meet.

Then again, Inez Karlsson doesn't end up any many good ones, but she seems to be doing just fine.

Geroux was riding 1st call for Mott, which was making those horses not be anywhere near the board. They switched to Campbell/Douglas... and those same horses are now hitting the board with regularity (not all wins, but at least getting a check).

He might be the worst jockey I have ever seen in my young life. Danush Sukie is BETTER. and might I say, and this is going to take alot to type.

SHANE LAVIOLETTE might be better. MIGHT

and I'd probably have to agree with the Lav comment. I also liked that Borque horse bet down... as I was on the winner of that race and was pleased with the higher payout than what it should have been.

The 4th race cost me about 10k yesterday as I would have hit the first 6 races with P3's, all in the range of $6 and $12 tickets, multiple multiple times. I had that 8 singled in that race, and Graham just closed very very strong....

money to be made in the 9th today (if stays on turf).... Geroux on 3-1 favorite (and since ML fav, will have alot of dumb $$ on it).
I'll take the 5.

I started out on fire over there yesterday (cleaned up the first 5 races)... then blew that longshot, overlooked the PP's that showed the horse had a poly speed number 20 higher a few races (think 3) back than anything in the field. cost me the $400 exacta and $818 double, as I hit Douglas on OBGYN the race before and had the Asmussen horse that came in 2nd. Dumb mistake that's unexcusable for a handicapper like me.

Exactly...I already tossed the pig.....I like the 3 a little bit in that race

Scav · #20 06-15-2008, 12:50 PM

I'll tell you this, if the 7th is off the turf, which my guess it is, Iosilver will not lose today. he is the lock of locks
