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.
