My trainer entered my horse one day and when I saw the entry on Equibase, I realized the jock listed was a name I'd never heard of before.

I called and asked who the hell the jockey was. She replied, "Oh, he's ridden a lot of my horses."

I responded that I watch all of her horses race and I'd never seen her use him before.

"Sure I have - every morning...."

Cannon....on jocks..

"So next time you hear about the plight of the poor jockey, the kind that the Turfway jocks room is full of, remember that they personally screwed you and me. Most of them will be warm and comfy in their next careers behind the counter at 7-11. Here is wishing that comes sooner than later. "

Randy Meier (this year at Arlington)

When told by the trainer, to go for the lead and win. He said, "Do you want to jump the rail or go under it (to cut across infield)?"

He finished 2nd to last
