Oh, when Chris Antley was even mildly focused he was as good as any rider in the game. He was no worse than third behind Bailey and Stevens ( two great riders in their respective primes ). The guy could flat out ride.
Sadly he was a VERY troubled person who was never able to deal with his problems effectively. I will always believe that the press he got when he supposedly came back clean, and won the Derby with Charismatic, did him more harm than good.
