As far as this week.....Ramon is riding at AQU during a time of bad racing and is getting first call mounts....sure he is gonna be successful at a meet when he is riding against the likes of Diane Nelson and Andrew Lakeman.....

He earned $14,409,988 by riding 3rd class meets and picking up scraps.

Sicne you reside in my old stompong grounds I will make this pleasant....

Dettori is not the #1 rider......this guy is hand fed the TOP mounts overseas....yes he is skilled....but definetly not the best...not even top 3....but if you need a reminder go back and watch his ride on Swain...

Jose Santos is also riding flat out awful right now and has the numbers to prove it. He is getting left with virtually every mount and getting in trouble just as often. Shawn Bridgemohan, despite hiring NY's best agent in Drew Mollica is also struggling for mounts and winning at under a 10% clip. His riding has been less than stellar.

This person isnt serious....Smith,Santos, and Bridgmohan?......They are in the 2nd car of the horrible jockey train.....Diane Nelson,Andrew Lakeman, and Rudy Rodriguez reside in the first car......Herbie Castillo is the conductor.

You're going to fight me over what I say about another man?



Ok dude...

I miss the old days at River and Turfway when we had Herbert, Woods, Outz, Cooksey, Tolio, Martines all battling it out. Now that was a jockey colony--ha ha.

Yes...he wins a TON of races at Delaware....and their purses are good down there..thats where the earnings come from.....lots of wins in mediocore races....and he rides all the good horses....his competition there is weak...outside of Jeremy Rose there aren't any half decent jocks at that meet.........it's like Russell Baze....wins a ton of races at bad meets....is Baze a bad jock? Not at all......is skilled.....but the guy has ONE grade I victory in all those wins.....

I remember Garrett Gomez and Jose Valdivia Jr. at Ellis Park. I think it was the summer of 91...maybe 92.

If I was a jock and could earn $14mm a year without traveling a whole bunch I would.

He earned 10% of that.

I know, I should of said his mounts earned that. So he earned $1.4mm. Prado earned $1.9mm. Not that big of a difference.

Prado won the Derby and at least one BC race as well. Somehow I think Ramon would like to be competitive in those races.

ramon won a bc race in 04

I agree, but with a Derby win and a BC win Prado only earned $500k more. It is all about what you want I guess. Prado goes all over the nation. Ramon basically stays at home.
