Those were his stats coming into today. He won two races today, The Mixer ($15.80) and he won the Grade 3 Victory Ride with Emma's Encore ($80.00) she's a $2,000 yearling who had never run a Beyer above 75. She was also a pick-up mount -- as Julian Leperoux chose to ride Tu Eni Wei instead.
Junior's ridden 4,028 races in his career and is showing a flat bet profit for his life. As I said a few years ago, he was the finest bug rider I've ever watched.
He had his bug at Calder near the end of 2007 -- and I followed Calder very closely leading into Gulfstream Park. It was a joke how much better he was than everyone else.
