What Active Jockey Would You Pick to Ride A Horse In A Race You Had To Win?
Filed Under Horse Racing
Edward K asked:
If you owned a thoroughbred and could pick any jockey that is still riding professionally to ride for you, who would it be? Would you pick the same rider for a sprint or a route? Turf or dirt?
Wow, surprisingly strong West Coast representation so far. All the guys mentioned are outstanding, though (except for Jara) getting a little long in the tooth. P Val is always dangerous in any type of race, Corey is especially strong on turf, and the longer the race is, the more I like Alex Solis. I’ve seen Solis fly out of nowhere at the end of a mile and 1/8, mile and a quarter, it’s an awesome thing to behold.
