Chop Chop is back!
 
The Aqueduct fateful cheer the return of "Chop Chop" Jorge Chavez!

Glad to see him back...does this mean we'll finally be back to the main track? :confused:

After all...it's spring! :rolleyes:

He's, thankfully, just back to ride a California horse in the stake.

He's had a nice career. Been downside for a long time.

Gee, here I was thinking you were talking about the sire of Victoria Park and all those other Canadian champions. Chop Chop, dk b 1940 by Flares (brother to Omaha) out *Sceptical, by Buchan.

intresting... he just took down a grade 2 on a horse that is a front runner, a stone cold front runner, she has never won from off the pace, and she wins for fun today, i'd say a great ride.... is chop chop that bad ?

I'd say Doug O'neill is a perfect example of why the game doesn't get serious money from me.

And I'm very glad that he WON! Jorge that is.

There used to be a profitable first time Chavez angle.... that whip brought in some decent prices.

I remember at the start of the Anita meet,the O'neil barn struggled. It came out of the slump when the actual trainer got back from vacation...This barn does indeed cheat by raising C02 levels.Been busted for it.O'neil,Sadler,Mitchell,Art Sherman,Mullins(their tummies need it for ulcers,)Cerin(Mr. I did a miracle)Canani etc. are all cheaters. Holy-Roller trainer Mike Mitchell can't seem to stop getting caught.........All they have to do is throw their hands in the air and blame it on feed contamination........then pay a fine....tada.

I was very glad to see Jorge win a nice one. I thought it was nice to have it back here in NY, and of course to win a nice one for Doug O'Neil.

he took a very bad spill on Midway Cat. glad to see he's back.

SCUDSBROTHER 03-25-2007 01:04 PM

I remember the interview of O'neil after this horse got beat last time(at Anita.) Said that the jock told him that the horse was a little dull before the race.O'neil said he probably didn't do his job well enough(and that he was gunna have to "freshen her up.")I remember it,because it was after he won a race later in the card.He was not thrilled about being asked about her poor showing.That is the only time I have seen him the least bit short with an interviewer.
