Robby Alverado might be the most overrated jockey on earth

I have never seen a guy do so little, with so much

Race after race (for years) i have seen him make bad trips, he has no idea what type of horse he has more times than not.. however he is in with SA and gets good mounts time in and time out.

He had a horse today in the 8th at churchill that was heads and sholders the speed of the race.. I mean, it wasn't even close. And the horse by looking at his past races, is most comfortable using that style.

what does Robby do?

He ut a death grip on him coming out the shoot, got behind about 8, and tried to make a move, but the horse didn't respond. ...


I guess it's good becuase I'll get the horse (Z Storm) at a decent price next out in the same class, instead of the 7/5 (which was too low for my tastes..espically with RA up).. but still. I mean.. a bug boy could have rode this horse to victory today... SEND. GO. Also because he didn't send he ended up going 5 wide in the turn to boot!

Him and Shaun Bridgmohan, you can have both of them.

give me Rafael Bejarano any day of the week
