Default Hey Vic Stauffer..........

That was a comical ride by your boy Rosario in the last at SA. Better start looking for mounts up at EMD later this year. Good thing he gets handed primo mounts from top trainers....otherwise he would be a 5% jock....

He is the worst..........

Nah....was watching the race on HRTV. No betting action. I just think when a jock is sitting off the pace of a horse who is cutting suicidal fractions trying to stay on the inside is beyond stupid. Rosario asked for trouble and got it....

I think he is overrated and gives many beyond bonehead rides.

There are plenty of better jocks in that colony.

Agreed. Saw the race and it was a poor decision. And yes there are plenty of better jocks there. And he has cost me more than he has given me.

He's horrendous on logical horses. Always does well on shots.

With a gambler for an agent it makes one wonder....

In His defense,I think he is a very good jockey.Sure he makes mistakes,but so do you.Just because the race doesn't pan out the way YOU think it should does not mean he is a bad jockey.

his original point is valid though. sitting in behind a horse you know is going to come back to you without getting position outside of that horse is suicide. Good or bad that was a poor ride

Please do. Then after about 3 months he'll be forced to move his tack to Yavapai.

Wow, kinda harsh. I think the kid is pretty good. I was also on the #8 in the finale today, and agree, was not happy with the ride. But I have seen him do many good things as well.

No, he'll just say he doesn't agree(or that the jock was following orders perfectly.) Then, he'll eat something. This jock is improving, but you can't rely on him during any one particular race. He makes mistakes, and they do tend to come while on a logical horse(that's certainly not my characterization of this particular animal.)

2 things:

1) Please watch the last race today from SA and explain to me how it wasnt a horrendous decision on his part.

2) See #1.

The fact that he gets good mounts speaks volumes about the jock colony out there. Hell...didnt Michael Baze win a riding title out there? Frightening....
