I would like to think he will make the transition and be able to stay on the right path, he's sooo young. He has a solid family, backed with great trainers and owners. Some of the jocks at the Fairgrounds were really trying to show him by their own examples how to stay on the right path and what it cost them when they messed up. They, the jocks, know how good he can be.
On the other hand there are some just routing for him to mess up. One owner was in the Paddock kind of puffed up that day, and made a statement to the effect that he won't do so good once at AQ, his friend asked why and he said oh they will drop him etc, etc. I said nothing and listened, I'm a big JT fan. Anyway he went on to win at SA, then AQ and now Hollywood. BTW that owners horse never hit the board. I was glad although I liked the horse.

Hard to believe he only rode his first mount last year at LA Downs. I only wish him the best and all our jockey colony, trainers and owners that came back after Katrina, it was a tough year for them in NOLA, and we the fans appreciate them.
