Seems like handicapping jockeys maybe more importantly then a horse's pps.
Held,
Not interested,
not in shape,
Lazy,
Fear of being aggressive,
This isnt who i regularly ride for,
Just a few comments in a jockeys PPs.
first and second call the pps will indicate what he was trying to accomplish.
top of stretch he found trouble because he wanted to
stop riding..Symbols can be used
No try***
Wrapped up for next time$$

I 100% agree. It is part of the handicapping.
If you have Irad, Jose, Javier, Angel Cruz, Manuel Franco and Cancel all in the same race (with no outside of NYRA riders), you can pretty much guaranty a walkathon.
If you have a mix of others, don't count Lepawhatever his name is cause he has a laissez faire choke till they can't breathe attitude, you can have a shot at an
honest pace.
Not talking about all races, just many, which if you're a P5 P4 P6 player like me, annoys the crap out of you.
BTW, Manuel Franco almost fell off a horse AGAIN today. He has the worst hands that I have seen on the Turf since (name 40 of today's jocks). Today it was a dirt race. Race 7 I believe. The horse's head was stuck up it's butt, that's how hard he was choking.
I was hoping the horse would buck him and knock him off. Of course, without injury.
