Wish him well. But we see to much of this stuff. A true Riches to Rags here. When you are broke, you tend to go back to what you use to do best. He is lucky to still have some friends left in this game, who believe in him. He has a tough road ahead, more now than ever.

I remember those days in the late 80's at Monmouth and Meadowlands. It was all Herb McCauley, Chris Antley and Julie Krone. I don't think Bravo was on the scene yet, and those 3 won 80 percent of the races it seemed.

We're supposed to be happy to see a rider, who was questionable even in his prime, come back after being off for nearly a decade and ride in races where hundreds of thousands of dollars are wagered?
No thanks.

Speaking of remarkable comebacks...
Otto Thorwarth is back in the saddle.

Yeah...the guy threw away his life for booze and gambling....a real inspiration. I'll be shocked if he is still riding by the end of the meadowlands meet.

there was a rider last night at Mountaineer in the first race named Rivera. This guy was I guess an exercise rider who gets a couple of live mounts per year as a favor. The horse should have won, it was 2/5 on the board but the guy rode indecisively finally taking the horse down to to the rail to try to rally in the stretch, not a good move at the Mountain. he also at one point got the whip somehow stuck in the horses tail. i had to chuckle after seeing that at the people who bet on that one as he could only manage second place.
