Thanks, Gus.. that makes alot more sense than my helicopter theory... the equibase charts don't bother with minor details like a middle initial. The only reason I even brought this up is because I loved A V Clemente's horse in the 6th at Gulf, only to watch him gap the field the entire race

What added to my confusion is that both have similar riding styles

that is they tend to finish behind many horses! This was my last foray into "Calder at Gulfstream"!!
Gus, on a completely different note, what did you think of the ride Melancon gave Highest Degree yesterday?
