Then there are the horses he rides and the individuals who offer him an advantage while riding them. When asked about himself, Baze still comes out as a bit of a “You gotta have the horses to win races,” and replies, “gee whiz” “No matter what anyone says, if you don’t have strong support behind you, you can’t accomplish anything. It’s fantastic when your trainer gives you that.” Doug O’Neill, Jeff Mullins, and John Sadler are some of the trainers who have continued to put him on sound horses.
O’Neill Remarks:
The trainers who have stood up for him from the start are ready to talk about his abilities and how he has developed over the course of his first five years as a professional. O’Neill claims: “He’s always worked incredibly hard and been a really nice child. He’s always been a great gate rider who gives it his best, in my opinion. However, he is now winning with all breeds of horses, not only speed horses, and is growing increasingly self-assured. He is also succeeding on the turf.”
Mullins Remarks:
Added Jeff Mullins: “He has good communication skills with a horse, as well as with people like us. The thing about Tyler is that he will listen and carry out your instructions, unlike many riders who will ignore what you say.” Mullins stated that the rider has improved “He has grown up and improved as a rider. He used to be excellent with fast horses, but these days he can convince a horse to slow down. He’s developing a reliable internal clock.”
Sadler’s remarks
Sadler, who has been one of Baze’s staunchest and most enduring fans, says the following about him: “People sometimes overlook the fact that Tyler began his career at a very young age (17). They assume you are older than you actually are when you start that early and stick around for a while. He is still extremely young and developing. At the races, he consistently makes wise decisions and is stronger and more reliable. He is everything in one. He appears to be the jockeys’ colony of California’s future.”
Taking a Break at the Barns:
Like so many of his countrymen, Baze rarely hangs out at the racing office on the backstretch; instead, he prefers to be close to the horses in the barns. Additionally, he typically works five to six horses every day, sometimes even eight. Because of this, he spends a lot of time at the Sadler stable “He has been encouraging me ever since I began. Having someone like that is nice. I’m at Jeff Mullins’ [Mullins’] barn a lot. My roommate Ral Ayers, who works with him, and I are close friends.”
His background:
As for Baze, he thinks his biggest advancement in the previous year is “becoming a stronger rider at the end; finishing stronger. I’ve exercised and grown stronger. I keep putting in a lot of effort and doing my best. I’m aware of my improvement as a rider.” Jockey Chance Rollins and his agent Ivan Puhich are among the people Baze admires. “I’ve listened, watched, and learned. Ivan advised me to maintain my head on my shoulders, listen carefully, and pick up new skills. I took that action.”
Family Riding Against Him
Baze occasionally gets to race against his uncle Gary Baze and Hall of Famer Russell Baze. He specifically recalls competing in the Pomona Derby against his uncle three years ago. “I screamed, “Hey, Gary, see you later,” as I passed him, Tyler Baze recalled. When we entered the [jockeys’] chamber, he displayed angry behavior and ordered us to refer to him as Uncle Gary the next time we passed each other quickly.”
The Hollywood Park Title was won:
His answer to the query of whether the Hollywood Park designation signifies his arrival was typical of his humble demeanor: “That was thrilling. I guess that’s a decent accomplishment. I don’t, however, feel any different. I can only exert myself to the best of my ability.”
He is currently vying for the 2004 riding championship at Del Mar.
Tyler Baze’s net worth is projected to reach $6 million as of 2023. On October 13, 2012, he rode Lucky Primo to victory in the Lava Man California Classic Cup.
