Underrated Jockey

I would like to see Houghton try and make the switch to Chicago. He takes Bennet's horses down there once in a while and picks up a few mounts. IMO the jockey colonly is pretty weak there. I know some guys that go to the major tracks struggle for a while, but this is a veteran in his prime who wins wherever he goes and he's still at the low of the low tracks (GLD). I'm thinking he must have ties to Michigan and doesn't want to leave.

You would think that he might want to leave GLD, but when you are the head man and are winning that many races, the money still adds up. Maybe he loves Michigan in the summer or has family there...who knows.

I will keep on eye on the show pools there...interesting to say the least.
