Good for Beckner
All the papers called Beckner a local jock ... but he's actually not.

He rides at Presque Isle... not Mountaineer.

Jose Santos was in town for a couple days to visit Beckner a week or two ago.

Didn't Beckner used to ride at Mountaineer on a regulary basis?

I think he did before Presque Isle opened for business.

He never rode a single race at Mountaineer before Presque Isle opened.

Don't get me wrong - he belongs at Mountaineer - but he certainly never rode there.

He rode at Philly and Monmouth regularly before PID.

I hope they keep him in jail for life for his ride last time on Paddy O'Prado.
