i get it, but i don't get it. Selective yeah thats fine, but i guess he makes a solid living being so selective? i rarely see him ride anymore, and i remember him bursting on the scene in like '95 when i was in high school, and he's still on the MD/WV circuit still just taking a lot less mounts, granted on horses who have a solid shot at winning. Not a doubt in my mind he would be leading rider at CT if he took regular mounts, with his connections and skills he would clean that place up like in the old days
