Good for him. I am sure his heart was broken that day.
"Think I read too, that Matz had a horse in a race at Belmont recently."
He took Rasta Farion over there, but she keeps getting scratched. I am not sure what the problem is. She was supposed to run last week, but got scratched, then he entered her in a race yesterday, and she scratched. The only race he has won since at least the Belmont was on June 21. I think the quality of his horses isn't the best right now. Here are the races entered as of now;
