Marco Latorre
Marco Latorre must rate as one of the best Jockeys riding in
SA at this time - the man has great hands, is very well balanced,
rides 52kg comfortably and is an expert judge of pace. What more could
one want from a rider?
Although he continues to get very limited chances, he still boots
home the rides he does get, which are usually priced up in double
figures. The only ride that he has had in the last 3 months that was
in the betting with half-decent form was Apple A Day which duly
won...and, of course, Look Alike midweek, from 8s into 6s, and once
again, he scored comfortably.
Marco has now won three on Look Alike, and scored a double with
Rose Bay at 10s the day Look Alike broke his Maiden.
Hopefully he will start to get some realistic chances to show his
worth before he gives up the ghost and is lost to our shores for good.
Anyone who plays exotics would be well advised to add him in when
looking for a good payout in the knowledge that the horse will be
given every opportunity from the saddle... a point to ponder.
Till the next time.
