Used to think the guy Pound-for-Pound was the best rider ever. Now I\'m convinced that Pound-for-Pound his kid is the best lead announcer going. And that\'s saying something because there is a lot of talent out there.

He talks the talk, looks the part and keeps his composure even while being forced to sit next to a Raggie all day at work (lol). And he\'s not half bad either.

Racing better hold on to him.

Get it though Dish Network, they have a excellent deal over there for both TVG and HRTV. It comes with the normal programming.

One thing I\'ve noticed is around our area these dishes are popping up like flowers. You, a couple friends of ours and me are all on the wagon. Pincay is good, I prefer Matt Carothers on TVG myself.

Mr. X

Like I said there is a lot of talent out there.

And let me clarify on the Pound-for-Pound comment on Poppa. I really meant as good as any athlete out there. These jockeys are like NASCAR drivers without all the protective gear and you had better have arm, hand and shoulder strength like a defensive tackle. Or that 1,200 pound animal your controling will throw you around like a poodle.

Interesting Pincay comes up on the week of the Big Cap. The year he and Charlie teamed up to win with Greinton as high weight, who had been WORKED up to the race off about a five month layoff was one for the ages. I think Pincay carried him home from about the 3/8ths pole.

The horse really had no choice in the matter.

The crappy thing is Russel Baze, who can\'t hold Laffit\'s jock, will pass him in the total wins category. How many Graded stakes has he won in his career? muuuuuuhahahahaaaaaah
