Four wins for Chop Chop yesterday.
Am I crazy or has he actually been somewhat decent again recently?

he's been decent. He ruled Gulfstream back when he won the Derby on Monarchos

If Mountaineer had a tropical meet it would resemble Gulfstream on an average weekday.

I had no idea. Must've been some bad riding during that period.

Wasn't the thing that cost him a lot of the quality rides that he used to get, was he fired his jock agent? I mean I know chop chop has some talent, but if you have an agent hookin you up with rides too, it definately helps.

His bio claims he was the leading rider in NY from 1994-1999. He has over 4,000 career wins and won an Eclipse Award as leading jockey. Quite a few accomplishments. But as they say, that's history.
