Answer 8

Well I was around when some of the greats were still riding

SHOEMAKER

FERNADO Toro

My best pick is STEVE CAUTHEN   He was eight balled from Santa Anita because everyone said he was the next Shoemaker

so That hit a nerve with the ShOE SO VERY QUIETLY THEY HAD TRAINER's NOT RIDE HIM

i FELT REALLY SORRY FOR HIM HE WAS GOOD VERY GOOD HE WOULD PAT EVERY HORSE HE RODE WHEN HE GOT ON THEIR BACK HE WAS SOFT TO THEM AND UNDERSTOOD THEM

ANY WAY HE WENT TO ENGLAND TO RIDE AND WON everything there , Laffit  Sr, was a great hitter he could use his stick perfect

Toro was the turf KING

I could go on for ever

But Steve Cauthen is my pick retired

he rode Affimed and lost once and then they put Laffit on him and he won OH WELL thats the racing game

Shoe hated Steve .... He had a big ego Shoe was the great

And Steve would have beat him

But shoe knew to many owners and bascily sent Steve away

End of story
