Russell Baze Approaching his 50,000th Mount

[Kermit]

you could tie a sack of potatoes on 90% of those horses domiguez won on and they would have still won

Yep, hard to tell when the leading jockey rides the very best horse and wins. I look at the occasional 6-1 horses he rides and wins on.

I hope you're not telling us that Nakatani (whom you hate) is as good as Ramon!!!???

domiguez is a really good jockey no doubt, but the difference is inches not lengths between the best and the so so jockies.
how many derbies haashas dominguez won? how many has mario guiteirez won?

Ramon's horses' earnings $25,000,000 Russell's $5,000,000. The differential is in the talent.

I sure hope you mean the talent of the horses. Russell would win virtually the same number if he rode Ramon's mounts in NY. Maybe a couple less because I've seen Dominguez do things that make you think he might be a witch. Amazing stuff. Great rider. Both great riders!!

Thanks Goof for making my point, there isn't much talent differnce between Russell and Ramon

You miss my whole point. It's the circuit difference. Ramon rides in the major leagues and Baze in Double A ball. And a question
for all you know it alls!!! Why is it that when HOF trainer Jerry Hollendorfer runs a horse in a stakes race away from
Northern California that he never employs his main man who has won over 2500 races for him??? Hmmmmm!!!! I wonder
why????????

[Tvghrtvfan]

Because the SO.CAL Riders are better than he is!! Is that the answer HOL.MIKE?

[Kermit]

Wow!!! He's 30000 ahead of Wilt.

Whatever one has to say about Baze, please keep in mind that he CHOOSES to stay and ride in northern California because of family, lifestyle, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.

The next person in here who says he isn't good enough to ride in SoCal/Kentucky/New York, etc, will be permanently banned in here for being stupid.

You have this in legal writing.
