While I have always been curious about the continually unreliable seeming first fractions in those races, most of what I learned about it was from Richard Migliore, who is a great asset to me in learning about trips and racewatching. He is a never ending source of interesting and useful information about racing.

Interesting stuff, Andy - thanks. Given that we may not have a chance to talk to the Mig, any other sources you'd recommend for someone trying to learn more about jockey tactics, trips and racewatching?

Richie is an unusually sharp guy who absolutely loves everything about the game. Not as a knock on other riders, and I have honestly never really spoken about racing with any, but it would be hard to find a more knowledgable and informative source. However, I value insights from all the people I know at the racetrack, especially backstretch people, as they can offer ideas that I don't know about. Obviously one shouldn't take everything at face value but a different take will often at least be interesting. The thing about my asking Mig is I know enough about what to ask that I can usually get an informed opinion from him. Let's face it, no matter how much I might think I know, he will know plenty of things I can't know.

The best thing about "The Mig" is that he is Italian... LOL
