TREMENDA EXHIBICION DE JARAMILLETE, EL HOMBRE DEL CRONOMETRO EN EL CEREBRO....RECORDANDO A BAEZA.

La carrera que gano hoy Jaramillo sobre Rosalba Hope me hizo recordar a Don Braulio (El Chino Baeza). Hugo Roca le habia dicho a sus amigos, mas que suscriptores:
creo que la primera valida es un candado entre My World y Rosalba Hope, peeeeeeeeeeeeero me gusta un poco mas Rosalba Hope porque la lleva Jaramillete.
Me hice amigo de Jaramillo en San Juan de Puerto Rico, cuando gano con My Own Business el Clasico del Caribe en el ano 2000.
Guardo con mucho afecto la foto que nos tomamos Jaramillo, Don Ramon Strubinger (qepd), Hugo Albarran Acosta y mi persona, despues del triunfo de ese gran ejemplar.No se porqué, pero le pedi a Don Ramon que me la autografiara, y asi lo hizo, no solo una foto, sino dos fotos....
Pues bien, recuerdo que el Chino Baeza, tenia una especie de cronometro en su cerebro. Los preparadores le decian, quiero que me pases este caballo, en los siguientes parciales x, y, z y que remate en ww, y que el tiempo final sea 61.4.
El idolo panameno lo cumplia a la perfeccion: tenia un cronometro suizo en el cerebro. Tal era la calidad del Chino.
La carrera que hoy gano Jara sobre Rosalba Hope, fue medida con precision. La puso a avanzar cuando era conveniente, no se encapricho en una pelea esteril con las punteras, sino que dejo que le funcionara su cronometro cerebral.
FELICITACIONES CAMPEON....POR ESO ES QUE EL HIPISMO ES EL DEPORTE DE LOS REYES....y usted es un rey de la fusta....

Braulio Baeza (born March 26, 1940 in Panama City, Panama) is an American Thoroughbred horse racing Hall of Fame jockey. He began racing in 1955 and in 1960, at the urging of agent Camilo Marin, moved to compete in the United States where at the Keeneland Race Course he won the very first he competed in.

Braulio Baeza's success in America was instantaneous. He was the leading money winner in American racing from 1965 to 1969, the 1968 winner of the George Woolf Memorial Jockey Award, and the 1972 and 1975 winner of the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Jockey. During his career, he rode a number of Thoroughbred greats including Buckpasser, Graustark, Dr. Fager, and Ack Ack. In 1961 he won his first Belmont Stakes. Two years later he rode to his first Kentucky Derby victory on Chateaugay as well as for his second Belmont Stakes win. In 1969 he won the Belmont for the third time onboard future Hall of Famer, Arts and Letters.

In 1972 Baeza travelled to York Racecourse in England where he rode Roberto to victory over the previously unbeaten Brigadier Gerard in the inaugural Benson & Hedges Gold Cup. That same year he went to Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto, Canada where he won the prestigious Canadian International Stakes. Baeza was the jockey aboard Foolish Pleasure in the tragic 1975 match race against the great 3-year-old filly Ruffian, who had to be euthanized after she pulled up during the race with a broken front ankle.

Braulio Baeza retired in 1976 after having won 3140 races in the United States. He was inducted that same year into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame.
