Did anyone see Fragoso\'s ride on Meribel at Philly Park?  He misjudged the wire so badly, we stopped riding her and then pulled her up hard--all before the wire to cost her the race and those of us that bet her.  I know its happened before, but boy it hurts when it actually costs you money.  Don\'t think Clement will put him back up on her anytime soon.

Nice job by the posters on Any Given Saturday!!!

This was the worst ride I have ever seen, bordering on criminal. Check out the replay from Philly Park July 4, Race 9, if you get a chance.

Terrible mistake by Fragoso,(very well liked kid)awful beat for the bettors.It\'s not the first time a jock has done this, even the great Willie Shoemaker did it in the 1957 derby.

I recall when I was working at Aqueduct in the early 90s a horse ridden by Chavez for Sciacca in a marathon race - 2 miles? Chop Chop forgot there was another lap to go. The \"fans\" booed him so bad he came back to the jocks room in tears.
