My man Ramon is on fire. The dude is lighting it up at the Big A and making the jockey race one for second place as he has the title all but locked up (165 48-27-21). He leads the next best jock CC Lopez by 23 wins and Rajiv by a half mil in earnings. After doing a little work on Sunday morning, I decided to dive into a little AQU only to watch Dominguez light it up all day long with three winners (Maven, Social Quest and Westside Flyer) and a show. While most of his compadres headed south a few weeks ago, he is shining on the inner track thriving in the cold weather. His showing Sunday was coming off a FIVE win Saturday, including riding Derby hopeful Haynesfield in the Whirlaway. A man of few words he described the victory this way: "The horse was much the best." He followed back to back wins on Saturday with three wins in a row two races later. Simply fabulous. The man can ride. He had a very good Saratoga meet (5th on the jockey board), look for him to continue to shine in his New York State of mind.
You can say he has been streaking.....which isn't such a bad thing...you can bring your green hat...

Channing Hill has been a big disappointment this winter. With all the "big boys" in Florida, he hasn't stepped up to the plate. Any idea what's going on there? Not getting the rides or not taking advantage of those he does get?
Val, funny you should mention the mad bomber. He had a great summer at the Spa and a decent fall at Belmont, so I had some high hopes for him during the winter meet and I was thinking of doing a "What's wrong with Channing blog?" 7 winners out of 97 mounts (7.2%) isn't very outstanding. I'll see what I can find out.
