Still like to keep tabs on the circuit, and was watching a race yesterday and thinking to myself "whoa, whoever it is riding the #2 (Mamoonya) looks like a man among boys out there riding," and it was Gutierrez, who used to dominate everything when I was out there.

Great little track -- and it always used to be fun to get to say hi to Twyla Beckner and Shawna Barber when they were riding. Always really nice, warm, and kind people riding there who had time to say hi to a fan.
Juan's a great guy, he rides sparingly here and does most of his work at Emerald each year, but he's always around 20% here.

Twyla now runs a Hummus company here in town and i believe Shawna married the old GM here Chris Dragone and moved back to NY with him, i think he has some kind of breeding operation
