Cool

Miracle comeback. To do what he did.

As a gambler?

I can't help it. It's how my brain works.
Bless him for the unbelievable comeback, and then a close second to that, the most recent thing that pops into my head is that he 'perservered' a horse called "Conqueror", on November 16th, Churchill r3, and held '3rd'.

It was only about $300 for a couple of tickets where I had him keyed, but it stuck in my head. (for every one "David Cohen", five jocks seem to fail to perservere when initially beaten for a top placing...)

Has the presence of mind, to 'look back' and judge his rival.

Can't help it.


I actually got some screen time on this show, filling in for one of the original Triple Clowns. Not my forte. Was a thrill to meet David Cohen.

Thank you for filling in for me on the show! It was a great show and you did a great job. David Cohen story is very fascinating. And to comeback and win Comeback jockey on 2018! This is a story that people should hear.

I thought he was a very promising rider when he was in Socal.
