As if it matters now, he's two absolutely atrocious rides from Ramon away from being the all-time money winner.

I know his resume Pat. I said hes admirable and consistent, thats where it stops for me. He was never brillant, and he was always facing not much. Cape Blanco beats his easily twice, easily. Anytime he faced a read horse Gio Ponti was running second.

In his prime -- he did somehow beat Ventura by a nose at level weights going a mile when Ventura was a huge favorite and going good.

The Ventura upset was probably his finest performance.

That was in Cali. I remember that. She was around 6-5 and I think he was 3-1. Not a huge upset.

He was 5-to-1 and Ventura was 4-to-5.

GP should be in the hall of fame for making you 7500 at my expense!

Well, more like 6k adjusted, but still.

I forget how lucky you can be sometimes.

Back to the original point of this thread. Why was PG jumped up from 7500 to 20k?

I have no clue about the jump. Could it be just from Coil taking the Haskell?

Forgetting the contest --- I probably have made more than 6K just backwheeling Gio Ponti. He's kind of a favorite horse of mine.
