I couldn't remember who it was who beat him, are you sure Kotashan was that year?
I hated Jet, I always played against him and he always made those loose leads in slow paces.

But he did lose the award didn't he?
I can't recall who but I seem to remember him running in some late year race at Calder maybe the McKnight? trying to win the eclipse award.
