He was a jockey agent not too long ago. I don't know if he still is and can't remember whose book he had, but I know thats what he was doing not too long ago.

Thanks Oracle. A jockey agent seeme to be a popular move for ex-jocks (it only makes sense).

Brings back memories of him riding Thunder Rumble to victory
in the Travers. Wasn't McCauley a huge UNC Tarheels fan.

Thunder Rumble--now that is a horse I haven't heard of in a long time. Didnt he also win the Jim Dandy and the Count Fleet as well. I just remember that horse being feast or famine. Either he won or didnt come close.

I was cracking up over the weekend BTW. I saw Channing Hill give a horse a good ride...she took horse right up the rail and swung the horse a bit wide and drew off. I thought of you when.

No, I dont wager on NY racing all that much. I dont really follow it anymore. I used to be into it in the 1980's.
