I'll bet he was riding the bush tracks in LA for several years before that. All those Luziana jocks get started that way.

Actually no, although most here do get started that way. Joe was an excersise rider, and worked in the barns for Connie Tassitaro and a few others. Rode his first race ever at LA Downs.

Whoops sorry I double quoted that. Watching CD on the website, and following TVG...

I have to keep switching between two channels - TVG and HRTV - in a timely fashion. And I'm watching Brazilian races streaming. Are we sick, or what?

Lucky you, I have Directv only TVG. I keep pausing the DVR, run back and check the CD stream, got the racing form everywhere, TV by the computer, but can't pause or back up, only on the giant tv up front,and it's not even derby day.
Naw, not sick, just extreme enthusiasts..LOL
How'd you get on that Brazil stream...I looked at it and got lost in the spanish. I want Brazil too now...and hey Hong Kong tonite

Do you think they could just keep Aaron Gryder at the desk on TVG after his shoulder's better instead of putting him back on horses?

It was interesting to hear him and Frank,etc. talking about Talamo. Saying he's not only good but inquisitive so you know he's working to improve, not thinking he knows it all (which of course is a setup for failure if you're new). Sounds like he's on the right track with a good head on his shoulders.

Look at my hometown - I'm in Lexington. TVG and HRTV are business channels around here. Have had TVG on basic cable (1-99) for several years, just got HRTV this winter, in the upper tiers with the digital box.

Actually, its portuguese, but just as baffling. I spent a year living in Chile, so I have some acquaintance with spanish, which is close kin linguistically, so I can pick out the useful words.

Your right about the portuguese, I put it on the google translator first I did spanish then remembered portuguese, but it still didn't make alot of sense, I gave up.
Speaking of Joe T, 3 wins, 1 place, 1 show out of 7 races so far today with some nice prices.
Boy Lexington, CD and Kee...got to get there one day.
Are you going to the Derby?
