If Alan Goldberg is willing to ride him, that says he's in form to win.

Excellent point. How about Garrett Gomez? He struggled for many years before finally cleaning up his act and getting his life back together.

As a racing fan I am glad Herb McCauley got his life back together also and is now able to ride again. I don't think anyone needs to say that he was a great rider or will return and do great things, but the simple fact that he made a comeback is admirable, at least in my opinion.
