JV vs Maragh

[Boscar Obarra]

I\'m sure he didnt even know who was on the #1 in the 5th at Bel today, but that was some sweet race riding by Johnny.  Sort of reminds me of someone with the initials AC

That\'s not even close to a contest.  I personally will take JV every time over pretty much every jock out there.

If you can get to a head-on shot, you will see Maragh trying to lean on JV\'s mount to make room, right after they turned for home and exchanged that small bump.

JV didn\'t necessarily do anything that I would call \"race riding\", to my eyes...he was just tough-as-nails & maintaining a straight course, on the path he had already earned. It was quite clear he wasn\'t having any of Rajiv\'s nonsense.

THAT is what I want from my jock -- every race. JV is the consummate professional out there.
