Hogwash. All of the riders are working hard and he doesn't deserve it more than any other.

Thats not true.... Some of them party hard, some of them sell drugs... Some of them are flat out punks. This dude is a man, he's a hard worker and the nicest guy you will ever meet. I met him when I was like 13 and never forgot it. He deserves to be the rider for that stable.

He does have a very large nose... lol

I met Mig a few times as well and he seems very nice.

I was just congragulating RM. Its not like Im guessing about him, I know for a fact he's a great guy, as for work... read the drf plus article. As for all riders work hard thats a joke, guys like Channing Hill spend the day on Facebook.... They dont all work hard...

We had a great day Saturday... we had a big crowd, lots of excitement and there was a definite buzz in the air. I went into the dining room to get lunch and one of the beverage girls thought it was one of the best ever.

Regal Ransom a fitting winner while Blame is going places after the slow pace/wide trip/game effort.

We had a Super Derby Star contest... listen to this guys voice...

You are glad for Godolphin but think Mig doesnt deserve accolades?

All riders are hardly hard working or good guys. The Mig is both and I too am glad to see him get a shot in some bigger races. I suppose you root for Microsoft, Walmart and the IRS too?

Who said he doesn't deserve accolades? I didn't say that. I think all of those riders put their lives on the line each time they go out there and I don't feel like any of them deserve it more than others.

And I love Walmart.

I like Regal Ransom, even considered him in the derby. But what were the other riders thinking in this race? If ever a race was presented on a platter, this was it. Sleepwalking fractions...and they all watched it unfold in front of them.

RM is one of the hardest working jocks out there. He's out on horses all morning most days. In fact, he's a bit of a throwback to the era of true "stable riders" when riders were contracted to one outfit. Unlike many riders, he's got some horsemanship skills and can get off a horse in the morning and really inform a trainer what the horse was doing and how he felt/went.
Because he's fairly tall Richie has always fought very hard against weight and it has taken a toll, but he's never given up. I've met him plenty and would never begrudge him a minute of success. Richie is all class.
