Why could have been? I thought he was! That guy was one of my favorite riders of all time. If you put together a reel (I know archaic word, but just seems fitting) of his best rides, it would blow away about any other "great's" reel. I loved it when the horse I liked best had him up. I remember him as an apprentice at Bowie and even before he was a five pound bug he was riding way ahead of his peers. Feel awful that he left so early, but the talent was unquestionably there in my book.
