I believe Edgar Prado is no longer a top jockey. Does that mean he cannot win races. Absolutely not. It just means with age,his skills are not what they once were.
Mike Smith is riding one of the best horses in the country and his skills have been on the decline for many years. I still wince at the thought of Smith trying to ride the inner track at Aqueduct a few years ago.
In my opinion, John Velasquez's skills are also on the decline,but if you get good horses you will still win races.
