I didn't watch TVG all nite just caught some races here and there, some w/o sound.
What is the deal with Aaron Gryder off of his mounts, and then the text msg to that Nick guy/trainer? They just gushed all over him but never said what happened while I was watching. Can anyone fill me in, did something happen?

GRYDER TO MISS THREE WEEKS WITH SHOULDER INJURY

Jockey Aaron Gryder, coming off a strong Santa Anita meet, will be sidelined for about three weeks with a shoulder injury, agent Tony Matos confirmed Friday.

Gryder, 36, suffered the injury during a race at Santa Anita a few weeks ago and has been battling pain since, according to Matos. "He had an MRI taken, and the doctor told him to rest it," said Matos.

Gryder, a native of West Covina who led the Hollywood Park Autumn Meet as an apprentice in 1987, spent most of his career in New York before returning west at the end of 2005. He hit the 3,000-victory plateau earlier this year.

Yup that's what I say, I think, I'm not getting this quoting thing right...meaning when saucon says "good for him". BUT I'm still routing for our Bug Boy, smokin Joe in Cal.
BTW Saucon been to your hometown many times, very lovely place, or at least when I was there. I took tours there for christmas in Moravia.
Are you routing for your PA horses in the derby?
