its an epidemic that celebrities and althletes fall into daily. i can almost understand people getting into alcohol and drugs when theres no hope. but these people are blessed with talent and careers that most of us can just dream about. heres a guy that COULD be at the top of his game, hes a pretty damn good rider. the only thing thats been standing in his way, IS HIMSELF!

Look at the head-on view of the last race of the Oak Tree Meet he rode out here. I mean he's out to do damage to another jock right there. Maybe he was trying to knock down Nakatani's horse. When someone simply ignores the presence of another horse n' jockey, you have to really take a hard look at what could possibly make them act that way. In that case, he just left town. I think it was probably his last race out here.

When you are arrested for having a certain amount of an illegal substance, you automatically get charged for distribution

No way he will be in Louisiana. NY State isn't gonna give him a chance to plea down these charges with his past. He is facing jail time for quite a while.

BS. It was only 11.9 grams and these are preliminary charges and there is absolutely no way he'll be convicted of dealing.

i agree with you but it also depends on how many times he's been arrested in the past.. if this is a multiple time he's been arrested, he may get some time.

15 years ago a buddy of mine got caught with 2 half grams of coke packaged separately, they charged him with possession with intent to sell and got 1 1/2 to 3 years in maximum security prison in NY. At one point he was a couple cells down from Colin Fergusen the LI RR killer. He complained to his lawyer and they moved him to the gay cell block(not an upgrade at all). NY is zero tolerance when it comes to Coke. He's f*cked.
