Of all the horses D Wayne pushed into the ground, I bet if you asked him if he could have one "do over", who would it be, he'd say Jump Start.
I think you are absolutely right about Jump Start and D. Wayne. I had followed the horse from his debut and your comments brought back memories for me. The coach has had so much talent in his barn. It is too bad that he never knew when to lighten up on them. Boston Harbor was a big letdown for me, among others. He had so much promise. The list goes on and on, with Jump Start at the top.
