Not long ago there was a thread stating that Dominguez was the best rider EVER. Jocks have different style and strengths. Garcia is a promising rider, but there are others that are just as good.

Yes, cover him on a daily basis too. The man has all the tools to be one of the best, but he is his own worst enemy. He has no one but himself for losing the Saratoga riding title last year. If he took things seriously like Dominguez and had a work ethic like Dominguez, he would be a finalist for the Eclipse Award every year.

The easiest comparison is Jara, both rode first call for Kiaran, both won major races for him and showed ability to be one of the best and both let it get to their head. Just in Garcia's case, Kiaran has shown him more loyalty and latitude but even that has been reduced in the past few months.
