I agree that Velazquez is an excellent and improving rider, but I'm pretty sure that Prado is ahead of him in terms of win/ITM% on turf, and that would be one good reason why Prado gets those Frankel mounts. I don't have the stats in front of me, but I'm pretty sure I recall Julie Krone and Nakatani as others who are ahead of JohnnyV on grass in terms of win/ITM% as well, and I think there are a few others.
I'm sure TG has access to this info and can chime in if I'm wrong. I am referring to the stats in the new DRF press book "Go For The Green", which probably come from Equibase as well.
