It has to be France right? Are Italians decent? Ireland? Where is Ryan Moore from.. England?


I don't know... The French ones seem top notch. Except the strangler.

    France,yes.But we have and had many greats right here at home. And the U.K. has produced many stars in the saddle.
    As far as the "strangler",no doubt in my mind you mean Leparoux.

    Right here in our own little Island of Puerto Rico.....
    Angle Cordero Jr.
    Johnny V.
    The Ortiz brothers and we'll see how Eric Cancel rounds out.
    Also Venezuela has produced some awesome ones too....

    Good one J.G.:clap2:..Yes,those Cajun guys have made a mark in this Sport.
    I need to clarify my post,I wasn't agreeing that France produces the best Jocks. And I think " the strangler" is French-Canadian.
    Some of my favorites are Rosario,J.V.,Borel,especially at C.D.,Ortiz brothers , Detorri,Ryan Moore,Graham, Nakatani don't beat me up for that one,Peslier,Velasquez.

    Really it's France. They win everything in japan, too.


    But Ryan Moore always manages to put on a clinic.
