Anybody who has been watching him over the last four weeks it should be fairly obvious he is in the Proverbial Zone.
A previously highly talented rider who seemed to be at times prone to mistakes is riding so good he is now taking it to others and forcing them into mistakes.
The season is long and riders like trainers can go on streaks. However the way he is clicking I am not sure if I was a trainer I would expect him to start going cold while riding against me any time soon.
Feature race today at Kee a $100,000.00 stake for 4 and up fillies/mares @ 1 and 1/16th mile.
27.14 quarter
52.11 half
1.16.91 for six furlongs
1 40.46 mile
1 46.40 final

Tend to agree Mike.
And even if you try to give me the angle of, \"Well it is a European style of Racing\".
Hey guess what this isn\'t a European configured race course. These are hard turns and stretch runs nowhere near what the European races have.
So I ask if the surface is safer is the racing safer???
All a jockey can do is Prevent a horse from winning. He can\'t get a horse over the line that doesnt measure up.
You didn\'t see his ride on Teuflesberg then.
How the field fully draws, the track plays and the posts are drawn are going to be considerations. I\'m not sure what to do with Teuflesberg, but I do think he will beat Scat Daddy and if he does what does that say of Jockeys?

If Teuflesberg hits the board I will pass out. Granted, Kee\'s Poly is not speed favoring, but the Derby pace is going to be much faster than BG boat race even if there isn\'t a ton of speed in the Derby. There\'s no way that horse wants 10F in a real horse race. Scat Daddy may also be vulnerable going 10F, but at least he has beaten real racehorses at 9F and fires every single race. Even his BC juvenile was way better than it looks. He was way outside on that inside track and too close to the fast pace. If I could get even money heads up on those two, I would have to go to the bank and make a withdrawal for Scat Daddy. I doubt I\'ll get enough price to make a win bet, but I couldn\'t bet Teuf at any price.
I didnt say Teuflesberg was gonna win. I just think he\'s a better horse than many others do. I think he\'ll beat horses that others key in upon.
If Teuflesberg runs a game race and finishes, say fourth with Scat Daddy back in 8th. What does that say of Jockeys?
