I remember he won a turf race back in 98 at CD, some horse Dickinson trained...
Actually, I thought he moved too soon that day, pulling 3w on the second turn for no reason, and it almost cost us the BC. But in general he has become a top rider, and the HH ride was a beauty. Not many guys would have had the patience to stay inside until something opened up, and if he goes around he's third or worse-- it's unlikely HH ran the best number, despite giving weight to the 3yo.
Meanwhile, think Julie's glad she made a comeback?
By the way, we used the above two regularly when I managed the Wachtel stable with Forbes training in the late 80's-early 90's, back when Velasquez was a bug in NY and Julie was in Jersey.
