AHHHHHH ... Craig Perret ... there is a name from the past ....

http://www.drf.com/news/qa-craig-perret ... ing-jockey

Best horses ridden? You don’t have enough ink in your pen. There were so many: Unbridled, Housebuster, Eillo, Fast Hilarious, Strike the Gold, Smoke Glacken, Royal Glint, Safely Kept, Honest Pleasure, Winning Colors, Cherokee Run, Optimistic Gal. I could go on a lot longer. I was unbelievably fortunate to have the opportunity to ride as many great horses as I did.

Your credentials seem worthy of the National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame, and yet you’ve only made the nominees list one time (2006). Your thoughts? I guess it’s been an “out of sight, out of mind” kind of thing. Look, I’ve been extremely blessed in this game, won some awards that mean the world to me – the Eclipse Award [1990] and the George Woolf Award [1998]. The Woolf – that’s your peers, and that means so much. I’m in the Fair Grounds Hall of Fame and the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in my home state. I won pretty much all the big races. I’ve done all I can do. Of course people say to me, “You should be in the Hall of Fame,” but what can I do about it? Do I need to be in there? No. But would I like to be in there? Sure, it’d be lovely.

This is a first. I've actually agreed with Mr. Goofy twice in the same week. CK is way off base about Gogo.

Stevens would have won had his comeback been in one of the horsemen races.

The horse would've won if it had been taken off the turf. Horse ran better than I thought.

Agree.

Reminds me of the folks who claim they can tell a horse is "ready to run" based on their paddock looks.

17,777 out of 17,778 degenerates can't tell the difference between Secretariat and
