Wow, havent heard Seth's name in a long time , I remember when he rode his first schooling race in Denver he was so cute and all excited lil bug boy wanna be. He always had talent and his dad Dickey made sure it never went to his head .

I loved when he rode at Hawthorne last year (?) or the year before. He tended to use the whip a bit more than I would like to see, but he rode hard and gave lots of horses fighting chances that sometimes didn't deserve them.

I heard through the rumor mill that Seth's absence was substance abuse related. I don't know him personally but considering how frequent this is in that profession, I don't think it would be a shock.

Re: Seth, he may have the most vicious left hand windmill in all of racing.

You are correct sir.And he has disappeared again,so don't know if we will see him again

Seth is a damn good rider. But every year Bell beats him in the standings. They both get the best mounts CBY has to offer though

[disappearingdan_akaplaya]

seth's talented enough to ride anywhere in the country in my opinion. who knows he may show up@oaklawn, robertson shipped everything outta chicago a few weeks back so hed have plenty for seth to ride down there. next to earlie lol nobody hits a horse like seth. yeah brian a couple years ago when he rode the fall meet here at tha thorne he tore it up. won alotta his races here not from being on the best horse, he simply outrode the other jocks here and outsmarted them

Seth did pretty well in Md. for the short time he was there when
he was an apprentice jockey. Did he start at Turf Paradise?

Seth is damn good, it helps to have Mac and Hugh Robertson's horses at your disposal as well. I give him credit though, because he was winnin beofre those trainers showed at at CBY 3 years ago and strated winning everything.

Bell has still been able to hang though... I hope the truth exonorates him. Because I'd hate to have any suspicion regarding any of the numerous riding titles he's won during the last few years at CBY

Rumor I heard today is Bell is NOT a part of the GLD/DEL fiasco.Supposedly,a trainer at Tampa complained about him and said Bell held his horse back and didn't ride him to the finish.Not the truth,Just a rumor I caught today.

[Left Bank]

Some guy on another board is claiming that there is a Tampa jock in jail as of today.Anyone hear this yet?All I have seen today is an interview with D Bell in TTimes about the goon squad grilling him.

[pmayjr]

I hope D. Bell is cleared. He's a household name at CBY in the summer.
