Getting bug weight with well spotted horses?? Nothing new here imo......

If anyone remembers the incident Joel Rosario was investigated for at Dmr, Cedros was the horse he was on.

She's one of few jockeys that shows a flat bet profit if you bet her in every mount this year. Nothing new perhaps but definitely special.

She's Italian - I love her: "So an Italian woman who gave up on being a jockey in England rides her first winner six years later on an Irish-bred horse in Kentucky."

RO's were never able to stop me from anything. A good lawyer can work that out :cool: All kidding aside I'm Italian and we like to follow other Italians who are doing good things. She's gonna make some noise in this sport.

[xfile]

What put me on to her originally was when she showed up as an OVERLAY JOCKEY on the reports. If you bet her on all of her mounts this year you would have made a nice flat bet profit.

[judd]

is she hot ? :kiss:

There's a very fine line between stalking and exhuberant pursuit.

She continues to ride those longshots. Nice ride on HEY DREW at Indiana Downs Rc 1 = $38.40 to place. Oriana = the bettors' jockey I tell you.

[xfile]

Saturday July 17 @ Ellis Park: Congrats to Oriana on winners El Puma $30.80 and Pleasant Man $15.00 - I've been telling you guys she can ride. :cool:

[eastie]

she's on 7 tomorrow. if you could tell me which ones to bet on, that would be cool, and appreciated. thanks in advance. Forza Rossi

That's sexist, don't you think?

I wonder what the prominent women of this board (in terms of number of posts, of course) think of your statement.

[xfile]

I'll ask her for you.
She didn't seem to mind. She replied to me right away. How cool is that:

Oriana Rossi-Jockey commented on your wall post:
"Actually.... I'm a pretty awesome cook. ha ha it's in my blood :D"

Oh, so number of posts is what's important to you, eh? :)

Thank you.

It's good to know that there are fine folks here at PA
who are not simply not:

a) disgruntled horseplayers
b) anti-Monmouth afficionados
c) grumpy ol' men looking to nitpick

Keep up the good work Ms. Rossi. :)

Have you ever asked if Joe Bravo or Richard Migliore make a mean Fettucine Alfredo?

It's a fair question.

If your A,B,C were directed towards me -- which given its juxtaposition to my posts, is a reasonable assumption -- then I am "None of the above."

[Cardus]

Oh, so number of posts is what's important to you, eh? :)

I figured that they would be the most likely to respond. (Emoticon withheld.)

[xfile]

Let's all be nice to each other. It's common to ask about an Italian woman if she can cook. Italian women love to cook and most of them are very good cooks. I wouldn't ask Joe Bravo if he could cook because unless he's in the mob cooking for the crew chances are he doesn't do much cooking. Have a piece of cake with some espresso and relax a little. It's nice. I'm going to smoke another stogie and ponder Saratoga and Del Mar. This Summer is going to be a lot of fun!

Friday Aug 6: #9 Quick in Motion $31.40 - I saw the result and just knew Oriana was the rider before I even checked. Congrats...Also on Variant and My Lucky Fortune. 7 races in and Miss Queen Rider here has a 3-bagger..

[rastajenk]

I met Oriana today at the River. :jump: She had three rides: a win, a place, an off the board finish. Very personable, friendly, down to earth. I was impressed.

I took her picture and held her hand. :p

Her place finish was in the Cradle prep, so maybe she'll make a return appearance Labor Day. :ThmbUp:

With injuries this catastrophic, we need a miracle. Sometime, that miracle presents itself, remarkably, throughout our struggle. It appears in our ability, each hour, each day, to wake up.. to cope and to fight.

Prayers for Orianna. :(

When I see these things I always resent the stupid comments people make about jockeys in general---including on this sight.

They are really the bravest athletes I know.

When they do make mistakes it is tough but, they have a split second
to make a decision and sometimes it is the wrong one.

I have been betting horses for 43 years, I have the night before, the day
of the race---and still make mistakes. They have a split second.
