That's great info. Thanks!!!

I suppose the only thing that's difficult to factor is that any trainer who rides Tyler Baze is nuts -- he's so afraid out there, he takes almost every horse back. I mean, he breaks on top with Refinery and rides him for a couple strides and then gradually eases him back (all while 4 wide) on the first turn, i.e, he took him completely out of the race, no shot after that, period.

Now, he does that with almost every horse he rides (since the summer when he was having his anorexic troubles). I don't wish the kid any harm, and everyone who knows him says he's a real likeable person, but, gosh, does anyone else see what I see? He does this on 99/100 horses he rides -- watch replays if you don't believe me.

Alex Solis has been doing that for 10 years but AT LEAST he gets horses to relax nicely and he's strong as hell and finishes like there's no tomorrow, so he'll win his share of races and you can predict with a good degree of certainty what he'll do (that's all handicappers need), not to mention he usually gets the best horse to ride in any given race, but Tyler is so weak,and he gets on so many speed horses that he just refuses to ride -- he did this the entire meet at Del Mar, it's like he just has to hang on until the race is over.

Do these trainers even watch replays???
