Big A 5th

I really don\'t like that jockey on Lakes horse. I really think as soon as the bug is gone that jock finds other employment. But it sure looks like a screaming monkey ride to me.

What are you saying here?

I guess I was saying that I dont like Channing Hill. However I tuned out with three wins already credited to that jock...lol

The horse in the fifth was a horse that any jockey would have won on and Channing Hill won.

Ctc:

Never discount \"the bug\" on the inner tube. I\'ve watched Hill closely and seen improvement. I\'ve also seen him using a left handed whip, which no one seems to have seen our current leading rider use with any regularity.

Thinking of \"the bug\" and winter racing, I thought of Glen Lane, one of the leading owners in the Northeast in the 80s. I was told his formula for success was claiming  and buying off the sheets (TG or the other
guys, I don\'t know), using the bug to get the weight off, and telling the trainer to tell the bug to save all the ground. Figures, weight off, saving ground -- this man was a true believer.

I\'ve been there though, Ctc, last Spring I told a friend that Raj Maragh couldn\'t ride a bicycle with 2 sets of training wheels, and he seems to be holding his own at the Gulf.
