EB, as eccentric, strange, colorful, etc. as some may think he is -- all would agree that he is very sharp and a very good agent. Certainly not the Ron Anderson type, but he knows how to "move" and position a jock. He gets his jock into the right barns, spots, etc. He'll get jocks into barns that others can't.

Anyway, Tyler has dealt with some personal problems and issues, hot/cold aside. I think most people said Talamo would continue his rise to stardom, Tyler wouldn't reignite what we saw in the past, EB made a bad mistake, etc. EB can take a jock anywhere. Not a lot of agents can do that. He might turn some people off, rub them the wrong way, but he'll come back.

Did anyone catch the 7th, one of the worse breakdowns you will ever see with a horse so close to the finish line for the win. Pretty somber stuff.

That was hard to watch...there were two horses that fell..I saw one run away and looked ok...do you know what happen to who?

Not sure CN will ever get it together...he has a world of talent..but just seems to be a head case.

It's not a thing you want to watch again but he was well clear with about a 1/16th to the finish line when he was suddenly in some distress, obviously he(Waveland Ave.) took a bad step tried to stay up and eventually fell. Valdivia took a bad fall as a result, the other horse fell as a result also but it would seem he is okay. No report on Waveland Ave yet...

I like EB a lot.....but I doubt Nakatani will listen to anybody.

Nakatani is an ego maniac. I would like to say hes a terrible rider as well, but Ive always thought he was a pretty good rider when you compare him to the other stiffs out West.
