But if anyone on here thinks Vinnie Bednar or some guy like him is going to get 190 wins when Ramon Dominguez gets 200, I think the person who says that is absolutely nuts or intoxicated.
I would venture to say on the turf a new guy like Bednar for every 100 Dominguez turf wins, a Bednar would not get 5.
Jury is still out on the on Dominguez' level of greatness. Very special indeed. Possibly one of the all time greats. Because of his ability as an absolute difference maker I'll lower the total on this one for Vinnie, Iggy and Barrington. If they rode the exact same 1000 horses as Ramon, with his high percentage, Ramon would win approximately 250 races. Those guys probably 220-225. I case you hadn't heard it's HORSE RACING.
