Cordero on Bold forbes in the Belmont,Steve Cauthen on Affirmed ,in the Belmont was a great ride too .I just loved to watch Cordero,Jorge Velasquez or Willie Shoemaker.Speaking of which he did some job booting home Forego against Honest Pleasure,that has to be one of the great rides of all time, he also beat Slew 's best in the JCGC .Shoemaker was a real joy to watch,he seemed to have horse just when he needed it. Jorge was the man when it came to the distance ,he was Johnny on the spot when the distance increased.Jorge rode a lot of nice horses ,his rides aboard Bowl Game or Proud Truth come to mind.
