True; he is clearly not in the class of the Beulah Twins, but the guy certainly does his work and is more then willing to share.
BTW: Purple hearts to ANYONE working on the backside at Aqueduct this winter. ( Any cold weather circuit for that matter) I can’t imagine getting there before sunrise to chip the ice from the feed tub.

I agree from personal experience about the NYRA winter backstretch experience. We stabled our horses at Belmont during the winter meet of 1980 at Aqueduct with sub-zero temps. I developed frostbite in all my fingers in both hands in the first 2 weeks. Brrrrrr and ouch!!
