I saw it happen to Francisco Torres. Of course he was totally wasted at the time and soon after went on an extended "vacation"

Willie Gray was a full on midget.....he pretty much didnt have any fingers just nubs. He used to throw the reins around his hand before horses left the gate , when the asst. starter would yell one back the lil turd used to pretty much lay down on the horses neck which caused most of the horses to ram the front of the gate. If he was behind going into the turn he would always yell for help the lil bugger , so one night at Waterford there were about 6 of us girls riding the race so we decided to school Willie about crying wolf , we boxed him in and when we hit the turn you should have heard him squell like a lil girl lol, he never tried that crap again. Will say this for him , horses ran like crazy for him because they were pretty much running like a loose horse.
Ah those were the days.

When I was a kid, I definitely remember Woodhouse during the Saratoga meets. I was probably 7 or 8 yrs old and taller then he was.

He is a pituitary dwarf.
This has whiff of WWF quality to it.

On the serious side you two would probably become good
friends ala Thunderdome. Kind of a mutualistic symbiotic relationship.
