A big part of me wants to see him get in. He was a big talent and we'll never know what he really could've been. But unfortunately there is a lot of "could have's" in sports. If I had a vote, I would vote for him, but I can certainly understand why many would disagree. One thing for sure, when he was on his game, he was one of the best!

My Antley story..

One night after 4 pm post Friday night at Del Mar I ran into Chris on the way out the gate. He had a troubled trip on one of his rides and I said to him " you almost got there Chris". He stopped and talked with me for about 10 minutes. Said he thought he was going to win - said he was sorry he didn't win. He was really a nice and very engaging guy. Told me to say hello when I went to Saratoga as he planned to do some riding there.

I was heading out - he was heading back to the party - he was all yippered up.

Great talent...sad ending.
