Awwwww

Hill will be missed, for sure. Unless you take a close look at the NUMBERS, obscure though they may be, you'll miss out the fact that HILL

is THE VERY BEST in the WORLD

at COMING as CLOSE as possible to the OUTER RAIL without HITTING IT.

I mean, imagine, just about EVERY RACE, not having the strength to be able to keep a horse straight/in in the stretch run. Takes a special jock to be able to pull this one off. Think of the PR this generates for the rail bums on the 1st floor.

I eagerly look forward to those WIDE STRETCH DUELS that are just sure to materialize between HILL and the DOOFUS Rosario.
The rest of the jocks are saving ground and these two idiots will be by the outer rail. NOW, it gets real tough trying to determine who the weakest jock in CALI will be; well, it's definitely not Sutherland or Stra.

Channing was 21-for-246 at Prarie Meadows in 2004 ... if you can only win 8% there as a bug .. and just 9% at Columbus ... you probably aren't much rider.

He deserves a lot of credit for lasting as long as he did in NY. Must have a real good personality and work ethic.

As Andy points out this decision is not surprising considering the mounts he has been getting and the colony he would have to face. The writing has been on the wall since he lost the vast amount of Hushion mounts.

Yes, on both accounts, as he's a very nice kid. Hopefully, he'll be able to do well out west. As others have noted on here, once he lost the Hushion mounts, his business was not too strong.

I wish him luck...I actually like him as a rider and would much rather have him on a horse I am betting then almost anyone else riding at Aqueduct right now.

Don't worry, I'm sure if he does well, Left Bank will come on here and redboard about how Hill layed over the colony because of his class.
