a man has to make a living so if singing did'nt work out welcome back. tough to get back into the groove after 4 1/2 years, good-luck to him.

I only had one encounter with Shane , he was riding a stake horse at Hollywood and my boss named him on a first time starter.
The groom and I were walking the horse out of the paddock and I said hello and that the colt was kinda dumb about his lead changes , he was very receptive and actually thanked me for the heads up , you dont get that from many "big riders" and we actually ran a good second to a horse named Fusachi Pegasus.... I liked Shane just from the brief encounter , I hope he does well in his comeback.

hung out with him a few times in arizona... he's a good guy. we played that Sega rally japanese horse racing video game for hours... & some poker.. good times! enjoyed catching up w/ him then in Toga... good to see him back in action, hope his knee or leg.. whichever was really bothering him, is healed.
