His maiden win 5 years ago at Santa Anita was nothing short of awesome.

After which, he was flown to Dubai, and didn't run against for another 3+ years. Fine work they did with him!

I don't know though MMSC, while Rosberg once looked like a freak, he's an old guy now and his glory day is long gone,

I did a triple take when I saw his name in the PP's ....

Thanks for that.

The first time I saw him / ever heard of him was in November..... the Dubal Potline Classic (something like that).

He just looked great winning and I'd wondered about the quotes that followed, about how nothing had gone right for him. How he deserved to win something big after all he'd been through. How Charpy never lost faith in him.

Don't know what happened to him, why he was off for so long, but it was nice reading your recollection.

It was thrilling watching him and wondering if maybe, maaaaybe, he really would win.

Aaaah well.
