Baze.

Thanks. It's one of those things where you look at the list and you can't figure out who's not on it, but you'd know the name if you heard it. Maybe if Jon Court's wife hustles ...

DeCarlo, he's ridden Pletcher Derby horses before.

ok, what I miss? what is the problem with Jon's wife? The only thing I know is that she is there to help him after the race (I didn't watch Jockeys because it was 20 minutes of commercials 5 minutes of rehash and 5 minutes of show)

I'm just joking around, but there was something about a new dress and purse that she wanted and Jon bringing home the bucks so she could get what she had her eye on I guess. I took it as more lighthearted than some folks I guess, but how many people hope their spouse gets a raise so they could afford something they wanted? It's not a crazy thing. I don't know the woman, and it's been awhile since I've seen that episode, so I'm not gonna call her a gold digger. Editing can make people look weird even if that was how she seemed. Reality shows do that stuff all the time depending on what story they want to put together.
