More evidence that there has to be a maximum IQ ceiling to become a jockey. If you exceed it, you are out.

Let the man ride.

I'd like to hear Tony Black and Mig weigh on on ATR.

He hasnt won a race since 2005 and is 3 for 158 since 2002.

Those look like Roger Stein's training stats.

At least Amont is in shape

The track will get sued if they dont allow him to ride and will get sued if they allow him to ride and he gets hurt.

For real? I thought that jockeys had to sign waivers or releases or some such legal documents.

he is one hot ****, that's for sure. terrible rider, even when he was young. More balls than brains, that's for sure. I actually bet on him in a race I figured they were doing for him. He was on a hoss dropping to the bottom, made a beautiful three wide move heading for home. Drove clear at the 8th pole and then got nailed last jump by some bug boy who didn't speak english. You could hear the colllective groan when he got beat.

For the record, Old people should be allowed to do whatever they want. If theyre 90 and want to still drive a car, let them. Don't forget if if weren't for the toughness and sacrifices of the old people, we wouldn't have life so easy. Plus they had enough brains to go to the track every weekend.

He will probably earn more money as a wal mart greeter

wouldn't be any good at that as he has a filthy mouth and bad attitude.
