Overall it would be delusional of you to say Bejarano an overall better rider than Garcia because Bejarano is better than Garcia

What races are you watching? You just read press clippings and don't watch replays or take trip notes of the races. It's
so evident that Bejarano is riding poorly right now. He's riding like he's tired and had a long year. Can you say 5 hour
energy!!!

I still agree with CK that is about 98 % horse and 2 % jockey Ernie. There are many differing opinions on this subject.

Bejarano was aboard a 54/1 shot in the Starlet. Garcia was 5/1 and Frenchy was just under 10/1. Coincidence?


Great ride by Garrett Gomez the vet on Pure Fun in that Hollywood Starlet. The horse just exploded big time!! Very impressed.

Sure his style is a speed gate rider which is nice and all but you know if it wasn't for Joel Rosario leaving to the East, he wouldn't be where he's at. Neither wouldn't some of the jocks here too getting the luck and success. So basically it was more on luck than skills. Plus Rosario can ride around in circles with him and the other riders in Southern California except for Rafael Bejarano who can give him competition. I will say the same about Martin Garcia except he can hold his own when he rides the baffert horses.**

You are clueless. Ask the trainers and they will educate you. No one is more impressive since he arrived here. It's the steady
improvement that has caught everyone's eyes. He's firmly in Bonde and O'Neill's barns' now and more and more horsemen are
using him now.



Edwin, my man.

If anyone has ever met him, his main job is provide great service to his clients train horses, make money training horses.


His job is not to cater to the public.

Bejarano aka Raffy is gone off to a fast start too. So your point is?
