Cruget can shove his accomplishments UP HIS FRENCH ASS. He got so many good horses beat and busted so many poor backstretch employees that were looking to make a few bucks betting on horses they'd cared for that rather than getting into the Hall of Fame, Cruget should get lynched. Seriously, this was one incompetent MOFO. And, complicating things was that he was smug about it. He'd come back after getting the best horse in the race beat and act as if he'd done nothing wrong. How dare anyone question him? He clearly had some superior suckup skills, however, because quite a few big outfits felt the need to ride him first call. It was a bad time overall when this idiot was riding.

Just like I said, someone loses their two bucks on the guy and all of a sudden hes the worst jockey in the world. Do you really think the best horse always wins the race???
