Can't believe he's getting away with his front-running rides the last weeks. How can the other jockey's (especially Baze) not see this?

It's funny but also amazing. Baze is usually very astute at spotting riders who are getting a too easy ride in general.

Couton can ride from behind as well.
I played him on a Leonard Powell horse in So Cal two years back.
No one knew him.
An unknown jock among the colony of respected riders gets ignored by the general betting public. The odds rise.
I found out that he was a respected rider in France before the race.
Among the top 15 or so.
The horse was definitely a player, but a deep closer.
I made a good sized bet at huge odds.
Couton circled and roasted the field with his mount.
Couton does not need to be on the front. He is a good jock.

Where do the good rider's come from....and where does the bad riders go.......
McCarron on my first impression was that I disliked him even though he was winner at a high percentage from the start, I dispise Martin Pedroza, but he has become a pretty good journey man, and I still don't like the big head personality on ESPN and in my life I've been beaten in big races by these top jocks because of some personal dislike that doesn't have anything to do with selecting the ability of the horse to win a race.

I do like Deshawn L. Parker, but until now I didn't know where he was riding, where is he going next and who will allow him to show his stuff.

I like Goldeng Gate.
The only synthetic I like is Tapeta.
I don't like the higher CHRB takeouts, so haven't played this year.

I am patiently waiting..........................
