I Think Henry Is Retired But Thompson Will Probably Show Up

I did well with Thompson last year. Here is the answer.

From suffolkdowns.com

For the third straight year, jockey Winston Thompson and trainer John Rigattieri captured meet titles in their respective categories.

Thompson finished the meet with 142 wins from 634 mounts (22.4%) with earnings of $1,492,889. He collected four stakes victories. Vernon Bush was second with 102 wins, followed by Dyn Panell (88) and Yamil Rosario (84). Thompson, Bush and Rosario are all headed to Tampa Bay Downs for the winter, while Panell is going to the Maryland circuit, beginning with Laurel Park.

Rigattieri's 83 wins were more than double the total of his closest competitor. He won with 25.6% of his 324 starters for $856,790 in purses. The competition for second was close, with Karl Grusmark (36 wins) finishing two ahead of Bobby Raymond (34) and three better than Kevin Clark (33). Rigattieri and Grusmark will train in Maryland this winter, while Raymond will be stationed in Tampa. As he has done in previous years, Clark will not train over the winter.

Monarch Stables, Inc. was the leading owner for the second time in the last three years. Rigattieri saddled most of Monarch's 33 winners. D and D Stable was next with 24, followed by the Yasou Stable Trust with 23.

for what it's worth....

He'll do well at TBD, riding frst call for O'Connell. But he's strictly a speed jock and if he's first-time riding a closer, bet him at your own peril.

I like him on the front end, first time up on a horse. Had him good in the 1st at Calder yesterday.... $19.40 for Barry Rose.

looking forward to the Terror's plays. Can the 900 number be far behind?
