New Jersey Thoroughbred Festival today at Monmouth. Giveaways, fun typical atmosphere down the Shore but today is all about New Jersey breds. Every horse was foaled in the state.
good. especially lezcano and irad. they haven't been riding that well for quite some time now. they've both costed me frim cashing in some decent exactas the past few weeks. even when irad wins there's something about the way he's riding on those mounts that appears a bit off.Jose Lezcano, John Velasquez and Irad Ortiz, Jr. will all serve suspensions this week for earlier infractions. They will not ride Wednesday anywhere. Johnny V. and Lezcano will not ride through Friday.
Get this: Brian Hernandez is suspended (to be served Labor Day) for his ride on Thorpedo Anna in the Travers. He used the whip one time more than what is allowed. imagine if she won the race, the fallout! .good. especially lezcano and irad. they haven't been riding that well for quite some time now. they've both costed me frim cashing in some decent exactas the past few weeks. even when irad wins there's something about the way he's riding on those mounts that appears a bit off.
or going back in time to watch jorge chavez chopping, slashing and hammering horses down the stretch 40-50 times? some would petition punishment via firing squad. antley or smith would be next on deck.Get this: Brian Hernandez is suspended (to be served Labor Day) for his ride on Thorpedo Anna in the Travers.

It would have been the Vino Rosso Wood Memorial (Johnny V. vs. Alvarado) multiplied exponentially.
i caught the exacta on that one. thank goodness bridge didn't mess that one up.Shaun Bridgmohan is unofficially 3-for-4 at this Saratoga meet. He seems to be riding mostly for Melanie Giddings and he has additional mounts with her this week.

I am not sure if he is the Luis Tiant of jockeys, but I would have wagered a nifty sum he is older than his listed age of 45.i caught the exacta on that one. thank goodness bridge didn't mess that one up.
nah 45 sounds about right. part of that young jockey group from the 2000's. cornelio velasquez alan garcia, & eibar coaI am not sure if he is the Luis Tiant of jockeys, but I would have wagered a nifty sum he is older than his listed age of 45.
Fun fact about Cornelio Velasquez. The last time he rode in the States was the July 4 holiday card when Tyler Gaffalione tied the one-day win record at Gulfstream with seven (2017). I don't know if Cornelio retired, went elsewhere or something else but he never rode in the US again.nah 45 sounds about right. part of that young jockey group from the 2000's. cornelio velasquez alan garcia, & eibar coa
