Lets thank the jocks!
 

Okay, if you could pay homage to one jock..... NOT the best, NOT your favorite..... if you could complement one on a fine ride or if there's one who was riding when you made that big score?

Who would you thank (besides Maylan) and what would you say?

Anyone?

Lets all play nice in the sandbox, kids, and remember those who have the only job in the world (I think) where an ambulance follows them around all day.

Diane Nelson

Great!

And you're thanking her because..... (?)

Studart.

She has a great ass

Willie Carson

I can't wait for Kev to ask who he is
:D

Aaaaah, very good Sir.

A fine reason to pay homage.

whoever won on Kickin...


do jockey's deserve thanks when they do their job correctly? Or do they only deserve to get crap when they screw things up.

Is he still alive? lol

He was when he won at Ascot for me in 1994. Four horse accumalater bet that is called a Super Yankee!!! It paid $10,000 for a $10 bet
:tro:

THIS is what I'm looking for. Thanks for answering the question. :)

My take on jocks is something like this.

You know how they geld unruly male horses to get them to behave better?

I think when a jock has lost his third race that he should have won, as a result of trying to use their brain, they should be lobotomized.

Until they start lobotomizing jocks, I just don't see any discussion of praising jockeys as having any merit.

I was a little worried about being called a redboarder from so long ago
:D

I figured for every 10,000 negative posts there could be a nice one though. :p

Personally I'd like to break with tradition and not include my favorite substance abusers (bless them all), hell I'm not even including the one and only Freddy Fong (who IS riding at TP these days and winning occassionally :eek: :tro: ).

I'd like to thank The Mig for his ride on Desert Code. :)

:D

No worries!:)

Joel Rosario for his ride on Obrigado.

Fair enough! I will give legitimate thanks in my next post!

Thank you to all jocks that retire.

That was very sweet. :D

What other reason would there be?

lately----- Deshawn Foster who locked up my $40 tri last night at the mountain, SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the year---- prado for his work with the whip when the other jocks rein broke

-bt-

:tro:

Chantal Sutherland for being a bombmaker on the turf.

I'd like to give her a pearl necklace.

deshawn foster, the former ucla running back released earlier this year?

I forgot about that....very good and worthy selection.
:tro:

MMSC has FF been winning in the last...:p

Yes, he shed a 120 lbs so he could tack 115. Keeps fumbling his reins and dropping his whip in the stretch.

Oh God, you remembered that???

I'm impressed! I've discovered that's only valid at HP. :D

Edgar Prado for not being a pu$$y in the 2005 BC Sprint, keeping Silver Train straight as an arrow, and stopping Gomez on Taste of Paradise in the process.

The ride I had on my wife last night was awesome. Although at my age it's much like a 6f sprint....1:12 4/5 and I was at the wire. I remember the Grand National Days!

Damn Spyder...that's pretty good. I thought at your age it took 1:12 4/5 just to get loaded in the gate...

:eek: :eek: :eek:

:confused:

Please splain....what is that supposed to be?
Do I need giant glasses to figure it out?

Dammit Franny...do have to splain EVERYTHING to you??

can't you see its a Budweiser ad?

damn women...gotta tell 'em everything

DeShawn Parker maybe? unless there is a some new guy I've not heard about.

edited.... try the link....

Your thinking of Fast Willie Parker...

Ramon D and Channing Hill who each respectfully hooked up my 11 yr old and 8 yr nieces with goggles this summer at the SPA. Special thanks to Ramon who asked my niece to wait as he went in the jock's quarters and came back out with a pair. Very classy.

:D

Yes, Yes frequently!!

I didn't miss the Bud sign though.....:p

OK can see it better now Dave thanks...guess it's a :{>: thing for the girl jocks...she's cute/hot I take it!!

I gotta give Channing his due. He has come through with some nice turf rides for me the past few months. He understand the concept of saving ground and is pretty fearless along the rail.
