Have to give a shout out to anyone putting The Pod on their list. Played a little golf with him, and a lot with Gerry Gallitano in the early 80's....never on my favorite jockey list, but loved to take their money on the course.
As a Chicago guy, late 70's, my first fave riders were Carlos Marquez (Sr.), Roger Cox, and Oscar Sanchez. Juvenal Diaz as well, although we had enough dealings with him to have him make my least fave list a few years later.
Earlie Fires was easily the most dominating rider I have seen on the turf.....not necessarily the best rider, but he moved them all up on the turf.
