Thanks Oracle. A jockey agent seeme to be a popular move for ex-jocks (it only makes sense).

Brings back memories of him riding Thunder Rumble to victory
in the Travers. Wasn't McCauley a huge UNC Tarheels fan.

Thunder Rumble--now that is a horse I haven't heard of in a long time. Didnt he also win the Jim Dandy and the Count Fleet as well. I just remember that horse being feast or famine. Either he won or didnt come close.

Yes he won the Jim Dandy. Didn't he also ride the turf horse Solar Splendor

And more than likely he rode them poorly.

I was cracking up over the weekend BTW. I saw Channing Hill give a horse a good ride...she took horse right up the rail and swung the horse a bit wide and drew off. I thought of you when.

I don't remember too well.... I remember liking Herb after Wallenda won the Super Derby though....

Add this to the trivia thread... What heavy favorite went down to defeat in the 93 Super Derby?
