I'm not particularly familiar with his work but follow the track - what sayeth PA?

I think he will do fine. I am very familiar with his grandfather, who was a jockey there in the 60's and 70's

I'm typically at a simulcast (MVR) with no volume, but I did watch a few races from home last week. Paul seemed to hesitate often and interject "um" multiple times during a race, but that will get better with time.

Feel sorry for Peter Berry as I felt he was the most talented prospect for this opening, and with MNR cutting days each year, the CT calendar would have been more stable.

In the long run, this decision was all about $$$$.
