I must say watching Garcia day in and day out, he is right now the best grass jockey in the country. Not even close.

Couldnt agree more. His ride on Tahoe Warrior today was phenominal. Any other rider, and I chalk it up as a loss when he was dropping back and losing ground to the stalkers. Saved enough gas in the tank to re-rally for the win.

just starting to notice that Maragh might be the best if you have the horse with the most kick

There is no way to name a best... Ramon, Kent, Maragh, Julian and Garcia are all very very good. This is a great colony.

Ive really been watching Garcia closely on the turf this meet.
He almost always saves as much ground as possible. Then at the top of the stretch he get his horse in a position offf of the rail where he has options- Rail run, split horses, angle outside.

That would be 2 more grass wins today and he didn't even have a mount in the feature. Garcia is nasty.

The 'got the jump on them' style of trip handicapping firmly on display. A poorly judged move by Ramon (though to that point, he sat a perfect inside drafting trip). Of course, he's probably not familiar with that long stretch run at AP. Last edited by the_fat_man : 08-13-2009 at 07:12 PM.
