He is taking some time Off to have some work done on his Hip.

Goncalves is probably the next Ramon Dominguez and Joel Rosario. He's a great rider.

And Steve Elzey is his agent,a plus.

You realize at your age, hip replacement isn't too far off

So inspired by only being beaten 12 1/2 lengths at odds of 103.90 to 1, she figures he has to be set for open maidens. Wow...

Finished 6th of 7 at odds of 93-1, beaten double digit lengths. The only horse he beat was a FTS that was essentially left at the gate.

anybody notice his call in todays 4th? he called the wrong winner before the race was over.....

He always does that.

I guess one good thing about these 50000N2L turf routes at Tampa, is that they afford some trainers to see how their horses will perform in a race over the grass.

How else would you explain Rory Miller's decision to enter Kahina off of her 10 beyer in an open 8 claimer last out? I imagine Winston Paulk wants to see if Just Me N You can handle the weeds before entering him in the Arlington Million later this summer. That 39 beyer from his 8k maiden breaker last out must have Couragous Cat looking over his shoulder.

I'm shocked these two were a combined 3 for 126 last year
