I agree Exceller. I had the honor to watch this guy ride just about every day for the time he rode at Saratoga. He was amazing. One day I saw him all the races in one Pick 6 sequence, I think I had 5 of 6 that day. He was bringing in mules. I also had the chance to see the side of him that inevitably killed him. He hung out with the shadiest guys you will ever wanna see. These guys took advantage of him and it got even worse when he moved to California.
Sad that he couldnt beat the demons. He was a great human being. Many of his last few days were spent helping a young man (fan of Antleys) through cancer treatment and watching him die in the hospital.
