also of note, I have seen alot of suspect rides at Ellis this meet for some reason. I mean hell I saw two rides Jamie Theriot gave in one day including this one with the 4, that made me just shake my head.
Last ride I remember that made me wonder if things were on the up and up, was a few years ago at Fair Grounds one of the Melancon's was riding the favorite in a grass race, and the whole race he had a super hammerlock on the horse throughout the damn race! Even in deep stretch he never rode or let go of the reins, the horse ended up losing by less than a length I believe.
