Reminds me of one of my more prophetic comments when working as bugler at Belmont. Cordero was in his last year riding. If he had fallen one more time, they'd need a front loader to scoop him off the track.
Anyway, he comes back from a losing mount (can't recall for whom) but here he comes down the tunnel and he's begging Pete Ferriola to ride this mount next time out. He had tears in his eyes saying "Come on Pete, I'm an old man, gimmie a break".
Right then and there I said OUT LOUD "This guy's a better agent than he is a jockey!"
In hindsight,I wasn't very far off.
