Thumbs up Chop Chop is back!
The Aqueduct fateful cheer the return of "Chop Chop" Jorge Chavez!

Glad to see him back...does this mean we'll finally be back to the main track?

After all...it's spring!

He's, thankfully, just back to ride a California horse in the stake.

I'd say Doug O'neill is a perfect example of why the game doesn't get serious money from me.

There used to be a profitable first time Chavez angle.... that whip brought in some decent prices.

I remember at the start of the Anita meet,the O'neil barn struggled. It came out of the slump when the actual trainer got back from vacation...This barn does indeed cheat by raising C02 levels.Been busted for it.O'neil,Sadler,Mitchell,Art Sherman,Mullins(their tummies need it for ulcers,)Cerin(Mr. I did a miracle)Canani etc. are all cheaters. Holy-Roller trainer Mike Mitchell can't seem to stop getting caught.........All they have to do is throw their hands in the air and blame it on feed contamination........then pay a fine....tada.

I was very glad to see Jorge win a nice one. I thought it was nice to have it back here in NY, and of course to win a nice one for Doug O'Neil.
