That was Irad in her last race, the evil twin. JK! I know they are not twins. LOL

Anyway, I'm hoping for a good race for Stellar Wind. So I don't care which Ortiz rides. Any horse can be first...after Stellar Wind. It's her first race back since November so my fingers are crossed for her good luck!

Accuracy has never really been your strong suit

I agree. I just shoot from the hip, once in a while I strike gold and post something correct by accident.

So if she loses this weekend it's Yomar next?

Everyone is always unfair to Yomar.

I know. It takes a lot of effort to look up something on your own. You're too busy posting under 3 accounts here and about 4 on twitter to worry about being accurate.

I digress....

I know she lost but the ride was the definition of perfect. Put her on an easy lead, got her to relax, tried to keep the boxed in, waited as long as possible to let her kick.

Can we now all agree on the fact Jose is the better Ortiz.

I hope not. That wouldn't say much for the NYRA jock colony.

What an absolutely TERRIBLE ride by Espinoza on Stellar Wind.

Real. It wasn't his best work. Had her bottle up on the inside.

The only reason she got out was she's 2-5 with a 2-1 shot in the field so there's separation.

Don't you think he might've known that heading into the race too? Thought he handled the situation just right.

You'd have to be watching races with your eyes closed to not see Jose has been riding better than Irad for a long time. At least for the last 12-15 months.
