text: He's got more pull with the horses than most jockeys do!  He is a gifted person & that makes him a target of the so-called "dark side" of the racing industry.  He only listens to what is real.  I've only met a few horses who didn't like him!  Humans are his biggest problem.  He can't be bought or bullied into submission & for that, he is held in high regard by the rest of the working class on the backlot of the track.  He has a big heart & those of us who have worked with him seem to be the only ones who notice it!  :o)
