I really don't pay enough attention to trip and ride for my own good...but even I can't miss when he screws up.

But do you pay attention when he dives to the rail and wins by a head, and if he goes to the outside, he loses by a neck?

I'll have to watch closer, but I don't think I've ever said; "wow, what a great move" when he was in the saddle. Seriously, if you see a great ride by him, let me know, I'd like to see the replay to see what you mean.

Don't get me wrong, I am not saying he is the next Shoemaker or Pincay BUT he rides the turf well, which is where alot of my bigger plays go.

His ride on SNS in the Derby was questionable, but if he gets through, IMO he has a hell of a chance to run Barbaro to the wire, SNS is a horse that gets brave on the lead and if he see daylight there, instead of getting checked in the rail, he has a shot.

I really hope SNS is all he looked like he could be, I don't care if my mom is on him, I just want a great season of racing!

When I am about to make the biggest win bet of my life on him, I am hoping for the best I can get.......

He was extremely effective on Relaxed Gesture this summer.

ONE RIDE, I knew this one was coming. What about his rides on Finlandia this year?

I could have made a long list, but I'm not that bored.
