there was a rider last night at Mountaineer in the first race named Rivera. This guy was I guess an exercise rider who gets a couple of live mounts per year as a favor. The horse should have won, it was 2/5 on the board but the guy rode indecisively finally taking the horse down to to the rail to try to rally in the stretch, not a good move at the Mountain. he also at one point got the whip somehow stuck in the horses tail. i had to chuckle after seeing that at the people who bet on that one as he could only manage second place.

He couldn't find that feeling anywhere else. He tried drinking. "I went to the bottle pretty good," he admits. He got no kick from champagne.
..and simply had enough.
