What is this the SPECIAL, the CHALLENGED Hall of Fame for jocks? Who's next, Luzzi and Potts?

Maple rode many if not most of Woody Stephens' horses in the 1970s and 1980s. I don't think he would have riden him if he was so clueless. There have been jocks who are in the hall that have indicated that it is a great over-sight that Eddie hasn't gotten in. But we are all going to like certain riders for certain reasons. The hall is for what they have accomplished in their career. I wince at some who get in so early. But to throw Luzzi into this is a bit silly, don't you think?
