No problem Hooves It's just that this was a very frustrating year amongst our stable. I hate to "drop names" but we had a rather TINY jock who couldn't seem to follow directions all the time. It burn't all the horseman in the barn up! I can say this is probably why I started this thread to begin with. However, I do know IT'S NOT ALWAYS THE JOCK!!!! But when you have a 5' 100 pound jock that doesn't EVER try to build any upper body mass and never reads the form or study his opponents....it eats you alive. There isn't any drive as "Laffit" had in the day. I guess that as well as everything else has gone to the wayside in horse racing!!!
