Great example of how little a jockey matters as the jockey strike in the Fall of his final season (a fellow named Fox took the reins to win the NYRA Mile).
Then went on the the WORST ride I have ever witnessed (almost on par with Ronnie Franklin's ride on Bid in the Florida Derby) when Julie Krone took this speed horse all over the track after a tardy break (and mostly down on a dead rail) in his final race at Churchill in the BC Classic...Horrid ride.
I really liked this good old speedball.
