Your choice to ride.
1.Willie Shoemaker
2.Laffit Pincay
3.Chris Mccarron
4.Angel Codero
5.Jerry Bailey
6.Eddie Delahoussaye
7.Pat Day
8.Gary Stevens
9.Braulio Baeza
10.Russell Baze
I know some might say Acaro,Hartack, i never got to see them ride.
IMO big race 1 1/4 i need one of theses jocks to ride my horse without any question,Eddie D. may not be the best but thats my choice.
My second choice would be Jerry Bailey
My 3rd choice would be Codero.

great list and what i find that is amazing is that the riding colony in california was great up until this century. i must admit the racing was top notch there too. you always had great horses coming from there. i have to give bob baffert a ton of credit for being able to compete at the top level of racing coming from california. with jess jackson's passing away i wonder if you are going to see steve asmussen on the west coast again.

Baze....
Always wondered why he doesn't get mounts in the really big races... like the triple crown ect...
I think he's too in love with California.

Would those who voted for Pat Day please explain why? I consider him one of the most overrated riders of our time.

If I could get the Pat Valenzuela before he got into trouble over drugs, he would be my first choice. I was a big fan of Jose Santos too. I like Garrett Gomez alot. Of the one listed Gary Stevens was the best. Baeza was the best rider in the 60s.

Depends on the situation, type of horse, etc. If i owned Zenyatta i would pick Eddie D, if i owned Rachel Alexandra i would pick Gary Stevens.
