1. Nope you are correct I have never seen a pro riding in an amateur race. But I have seen many times an amateur riding in a pro race.
2. Yeah I am old, I can remember riding the bus to the big M in 1977 and two old railbirds talking about a bomber that came in the last race at Belmont, Lebon at 50-1.
I take a look at the form. Lebon? should have been 5000-1. needless to say had no idea it was actually Cinzano.

what a great time to be a horseplayer. Belmont in the day. Big M at night.
