I was entertained and would watch it again. Did anyone see the show AFTER Jockeys? Im not sure on the name, but it had lots of horse racing/jumping/harness racing accidents?? There were some pretty bad spills there.

Ok, so back on topic. I watched the show last night and was somewhat disappointed. I guess I am more interested in the technical aspects of being a jockey and this was a little ‘cotton candy’ for me. I also thought it was in bad taste to air the Untamed and Uncut right afterwards. IMO This is not really the message that needs to be sent to the general public.
Question!!
So in the show I thought they said only 3 horses raced against Zenyatta because all the trainers were afraid of competition or something. However, this article:

Looks like there were 9 horses
I’m confused!
The race they showed was not the breeders cup.
I think the series is building up to The BC. I believe the race was the Lady’s Secret? I had watched the race the first time as I owned a sister to Hystericalady and had interest in it, but I didn’t catch the race name when it aired last night.
Got it… all they talked about was the Breeders Cup so it was hard to follow what was actually going on and where!

hey it’s nice to see someone wrecking besides me :winkgrin:
best
Oh, and another thing: Anyone notice when Mike and Chantal go out to dinner, and underneath Mike is the text/title/whatever : Jockey and underneath Chantal it says: Jockey/ Mike Smith’s girlfriend… Ummmm, hello?!? I KNOW he’s a much better rider than she, but wouldn’t it be fair to have Jockey/ Chantel’s boyfriend under Mike’s name? Just sayin’…
Oh, and were did Joe Tamalo start riding… show says he’s a coonass (Cajun), but where’d he start? Anyone know? He’s tough, and rides well.
On the show they said he started riding in Louisiana can’t remember if they said a specific track

Mike Smith and Corey both came off as very appealing. Not so Go go, and I wonder if that will make him even more competitive today at S.A. I hope so! Got my bets worked out.

Hey guys, got to say I got that part right at least. Garrett Gomez won four races today, including the Robert B. Lewis Stakes!
Good call, did your bets pay off well?
He rode at the FairGrounds.
I was trying betting around the favorites, but with the turf switched to all weather, and Broctane, Mr. Napper Tandy,and Navigator all scratched, it wasn’t easy. Came out ahead, thanks to Amybelle and Vanquest.
I was hoping for Bittel Road to be a surprise, but came in 4th, and Papa Clem messed my superfecta. Gomez is amazing. Thanks for your comment, Las Olas.

Yep and Ebanks brought him to CA in 2007 I believe
I think the race they showed was the Lady’s Secret… I could be wrong!
Guess I’m going to have to finish watching it to find out what you guys are p o’d at Kayla Stra about. Did she say something anti-American, or is she just riding sub par?
She was riding sub par. Don’t know how she finished up the meet, I never really paid attention to her. I’m sure someone here has the stats on her.
She actually won a race at SA today, and looked so happy.

He took out his license at Louisiana Downs, I know because I watched him in his first race, that was in 2006. He then moved his tack to the Fairgrounds for that meet and was the leading rider there during the 06-07 meet, then yes, the Love Man took him out west
LOL the “Love MAn” The “Man” does a rather fine rendition of “Strokin’” at Jimmy O’s every year at DM! He did a great job of developing a young rider. Gotta love Eee Bee!
