I admire his desire to work a much tougher circuit but he is likely to starve unless he has a stream of mounts promised to him already by some of the higher volume connections.

As a fellow African-American, it would be great for the sport if an African-American jockey had some success at a major circuit. I wish him all the best.

Could only win at a 9% clip at Oaklawn this past spring and that wasn't what I would call a stellar jockey colony.

the guy is a butcher, he's way too overconfident in his rides, he always waits until the last minute to move a horse, and with the quality mounts he gets with Ass its hard to f&ck up some of those races @ 3-5 but he manages to do it... alot

if anyone has noticed Ass and Stonestreet got Albarado for their mounts this fall, expect to see more of the same this winter, and now that sellers is back he's gonna be riding a lot for Ass as well..... Bridge the Butcher "off" could be one of the better angles in horse racing today
