He definitely has the gift.
Rode Pval in a grade 1 stake, got left. My luck....

I really liked Level Playingfield in the race -- loaded with speed, he was one of the closers -- but didn't recommend him because he was 50-1. As you might remember, you closes stoutly to finish behind you (20-1?) and Biancone's Pomeroy finishes 3rd to form a HUGE triple. (We used Battle Won; a friend keyed him with vigor!)
Yes I do. The owner of Battle Won had an $80 triple. Made way more gambling than on the purse check. Level Playingfield always ran well at CD.

I remember that....it was the first Pick 3 I ever hit. America Alive, Battle Won and Half Ours. If I remember right it paid about $318 for $1 that day.

Well,your horse(once he broke poorly) could have gotten in more trouble,or been quickly rushed up to the front.Pat got him forwardly placed as soon as he could(without rushing him,and emptying him.) He got him to draw away nicely from some nice horses. Greg's Gold was just too good that day(108.04.) With a slow start,Pat and your horse got a what? 108.20,or 108.25 ?? Here is what I know.If Pat had ridden your horse in the Forego,Mass Media wouldn't have gotten by.Greg's Gold was probably too tough that day at Del Mar,but Pat would have found enough late to get that Forego.If you keep using him, you will get that Grade 1. Hey,this is the guy that use to drive Pincay nuts(he admits Pat would beat him on lesser horses.) The 2nd or 3rd best horse may be all you need.

1-Julie Krone,we will never know how great she could of been but nobody could get a horse to relax like she did.
2-Angel Cordero Jr.-People disliked him for being too aggressive.I say Poppycock to that.The greatest ride ever in my opinion is the one he gave Bold Forbes in the Belmont.Riders today would have grabbed leather with him and the horse would have finished up the track.Cordero knew the further they go the more they hang.
3-Braulio Baeza-Ice water in his veins and a master at pace.
