Watching Shoemaker in the stretch in the 88 Big Cap is a little painful to watch,but sometimes I wonder if any of that matters. I remember a meet at Charles Town around 89 90 or 91. I can't remember for sure the year but lady jocks finished 1-2-3 in the standings and none appeared particularly strong or used the whip much.
