The next year, he won some stakes at FG for Delp, and won the Fair Grounds Oaks aboard Marshua's Echelon for Louisiana connections. He pretty much dropped out of the limelight at Fair Grounds after that.
If Justin Beiber would play a young Ron Franklin - that movie would be a hit.

They are ringers for one another.
