  1. I would choose Bill Shoemaker, Pat Day, Jerry Baily

    and the cutie Gary Stevens. All are in the greatest lists. .

    Eddie Arcaro would be there too. .


  2. eddie accaro....because he was a master at winning

    major races.....

    pincay.....the pirate

    macarron.....the money-rider

    johnny longden.....the pumper

    pat day...."wait all day"

    bill shoemaker....."the-shoe"

  3. Chris Mccaron.

  4. Current rider: Edgar Prado, hands down would be my choice.

    He just has an INCREDIBLE feel for the horse under him.

    He was riding a horse in Saratoga who he never really asked to run. When he came back and we collected him at the gap he said that he thought that the horse was hurt or sore. The asst trainer I was with was pretty mad, she thought that the horse had a good chance of winning and was mad that Edgar never pushed the horse- and the horse seemed fine to all of us, not lame at all cooling out.

    I saw Edgar later that night and we were chatting, first thing he asked was if the horse was OK and I said yea, he wasn't lame or anything. He looked concerned and asked if I was sure. Yup.

    guess what- next day that horse was sooo lame. He was hurt- Edgar knew it way before any of us and I'll never doubt him again. He just knows horses and can feel them moving really well

  5. shoe

  6. Because when he is on this horse he is in contral , of the aniaml, and should or feel there is something right or   wrong, a Jockey should  know this horses   well, before running a race, and most of them, do!  its a reltionship that become a close bond, like it should be  I,ve owened horses all my life and new them all 22 of them I spend alot time them, and that is what it takes!

  7. darren beadman he is australian currently riding in hong kong he has competed all over the world

  8. i feel that egder prado is one of the best jockeys around. he has won the kentucky derby and preakness on funny cide, and the kentucky derby on barbaro. and im pretty sure he has won the belmont. he races at saratoga and always seems to be in the top two jockeys in th winnings contest they do there every year. i feel he is the best jockey. also he did almost save barbaro's life god bless him.

  9. I agree with Winkey that Edgar Prado is probably the best active jockey.  I think this is because of his love of and ability to communicate with horses.  And being named to the Racing Hall of Fame indicates I'm not the only one who thinks so.

    But, there are other great jockeys out there: Kent Desmoreaux, Garrett Gomez, Rafael Bejanaro to name a few.
