All your super jocks were riding on the day when an appie rode them to sleep to win the million dollar race...
Therefore I totally disagree on your lesser jock Theory.
In general I think that comparing jocks is a futile exercise .....we all have our opinions and I respect yours ......but yes I am saying that had the other top jocks been around I doubt whether he would have ridden 6.... and one could argue that the 'appie' in the Million Dollar was on the best horse.......but having stated the above, of course it was a great feat to ride 6 on a day so well done to him
Really?
It's like saying a driver that dominates the Formula 1 circuit can't really be classified as good 'cos there's no Schumacker to compete against.

I'm really no expert in Formula 1, but logic tells me that the driver that dominates usually has the fastest car
