As far as "Cajun" riding goes, it refers to a comment made by Eddie Martin when he won the biggest race of the Claiming Crown. He fouled, and they let it go(big f'n surprise.) Then, after the results became official, Eddie Martin said to send Tyler Baze down to Louisiana for some schooling. Not only that, but in the Delta Jackpot, Garrett Gomez and another jock (Calvin Borel I think) sandwiched a horse badly. The stewards saw fit to simply ignore that, and Gomez n' Borel split the top prize(deadheat.) There is a history of ignoring infractions in Louisiana, and I do not see it as a coincidence that the rider who fouled Douglas has ridden most of his career in Louisiana. This is the state that gave a license to ride to a coke head that was so drunk he couldn't keep his car straight (in line)when trying to get some fast food at a drive thru.
