Martin Garcia: worst. jockey.ever.

You would think that after Garcia completely hosed Reedley in the previous race, Baffert would get the clue and find somebody else. Instead, he lets Garcia ride him again, so he can hose the horse again and lose by a nose again.

That horse won't be able to win a race against $2,500 maidens at Los Alamitos if Garcia is on him.

In his hey day Martin Garcia was as good as any jockey in So.Cal.
Never ever the worst jockey ever. You sound like a sore loser.

Garcia was a terrible turf rider, he's definitely stepped his game up there.

He's never going to be a great rider but I've heard the reason Baffert keeps him around is he's great in the morning.

Post of the year. Well done. Mack, Burch and Mellon are having a laugh.
