Default Hot Jock - at least for a night!

Took a road trip to Rem Park on Saturday and witnessed a hailstorm of long shots come across the finish line. I hit a ladder bet on a 14-1 shot in R1 7.5k 2yo maiden claimer (suspects vs prospects!) based solely on looks in the paddock.

After that it was Jose Angel Medina night, as he wen 7-3-0-1, bringing home win pays of $55, $24 and $32. An ROI of $15.10 per $2 win bet on his mounts.

I'll be looking for for his next day out, as he only had one 50-1 ML mount in the Sunday card.

The man with the pony tail that rivals the horses he rides has some real talent and flair.

Otis

It was a fantastic night. I really enjoy Remington's simulcasts and flew in from Chicago to check it out in person.

Medina's best work came on Makin' Mischief in R5 on 12/13. Trapped on the rail, made a bold move outside, bumped, and still caught the heavy favorite at the wire. Worth checking out.

Cheers,

Otis

I thought he was going to say he slept with the guy but wasn't completely disappointed as the pony tail line gave it a kinda bromance quality.

At least it was a different kinda redboard. You don't usually get the sense of a little crush while someone is breaking their arm to pat themselves on the back.

It's no wonder why there's virtually no racing discussion on this board anymore when you read a thread like this.

Thanks, NTamm. That's what I was looking for.

But must admit the title invited these replies. I've got a good sense of humor. Captain of a hockey team. I would be razzing anyone who stepped in it like I did. No worries!

Cheers,

O

I honestly thought it was a goof account.

1. Redboard straight out of the gate in the second sentence of the account's first post.

2. The pimping a 5% jock that, prior to this mystical day, has had all of 14 wins since August.

My apologies, it just seemed.....well... all too convenient. That's on me.

Welcome to the board, EGO!

I went down there expecting to see the usual guys (Vazquez, Berry...) in the winner's circle, but this little known jockey stole the show. He has a HK style in his riding. Elbows flying out and reins flying.

It just left an impression.
