Smokey stover should win eclipse award for sprinters based on the fact he still won with that incompetent idiot on his back.

How can you say that about the top Jewish rider in the game?

Please....there has to be a better Jewish jock out there. Isn't Jose Bracetty Jewish. How about Barrington Harvey? Please tell me there are other Jewish jocks around we can give that title to.

Compared to Gryder, David Cohen is a modern day Eddie Arcaro.


Yes..you have Dettori.....but I believe you also have William Antongeorgi.

I think I'd have to go with the Ellis owner as person of the year. That track is so much better now that he's running it instead of Churchill and he offered that lower P4 takeout for the whole meet so simulcast players could enjoy the benefits of new ownership, too.

Very good call on that. I played Ellis more this year than I ever had, combined.

He's also in negotiations to lower the mutual workers "takeout."

Off topic, here's something I could never figure out: why has there never been a Jewish President or Vice President? Does the conservative Christian right wing have that much strength?
