i wagered on him a couple times at turfway and i wanted to jump through the tv at him!! he'd break bad and do the old patented rush up and fade in the stretch move.

on the note about bug riders, trainers love getting the weight. i cant tell you how many times when i worked in the race office we'd ask a trainer what rider they wanted and their response was "any of the bug boys open" they didnt even care which bug rider it was.
