| It was amazing! And the jockey Calvin something was a joy to watch in his enthusiasm. But a question...Is it wrong to be drooling over the lead horses rather than the racers? There was the nicest appy... :D | |

| Awesome race... My fav moment was when the trainer threw away his crutches and hugged the jockey...tres cool :D - Quote :
- A Sovereign Award winner as Canada's top two-year-old, won three stakes races at Woodbine last summer when he was trained and owned by Mississauga's Dave Cotey.
A gelding that cost a mere $9,500 U.S., is now the winner of America's biggest race, capturing first prize from the $2.2 million purse in front of a stunned crowd at the famed track.
- Quote :
- Wolley a former rodeo rider turned thoroughbred trainer, paid credit to Cotey in the Churchill Downs winner's circle.
“A guy named Dave Cotey in Canada is the guy who really qualified this horse to be here,” Wolley said. “He deserves a lot of the credit and deserves to be here.”
Cotey watched the race at Woodbine with friends and was understandably ecstatic.
“I am so happy for him,” Cotey said. “I’m ecstatic. I’d love to be down there to give him a big kiss.”
He is a Canadian pony... :cheers: And it was nice of the trainer to mention him. Wonderful story through and through. | |
