Angel Serpa freaks me out
 

I'm not sure why I'm posting this. Maybe you'll find it amusing.

Even though I've been looking at PPs and charts for a long time and should be used to seeing his name, I still do a double-take every time I see listed jockey "A. Serpa" because that is my name as well (Not Angel, but initial "A"). I find it distracting, and I think I unconsciously look for excuses to bet on him.

Contact a lawyer and then change your name. That should take care of these "issues" :)

your avatar freaks me out. He makes me want to bring back Sam Cassel.

New avatar, check. Sort of the dog version of Sam.

Knowing your real name as I do, the first couple of times I caught his name I sort of did a double take myself...:lol:

Me too GT. At least now I know his name is Angel.

I used to get that strange feelling back in the early 90's with S. Miller, only that rider was Scott Miller. First day I ever went live to old SPT in , he was one of several jocks that went down in a fatal spill (Rodney Dickens.) Whenever I see that chart from that race, I cringe, and then I see S. Miller name in the chart and I cringe even extra for a few seconds.

Have you lost five pounds recently?

It could be worse. Your name could be Boca Chica.

I thought I was betting on you!

:D

"Angel Serpa freaks me out"

Jose Espinoza seconds this feeling.

:D . I'm glad he's ok and the horse seemed ok too as he ran on. That could've been really bad.

LORD what a GaMe


luv it

Got that right, how Espinoza landed back in the saddle after being airborne...wow.

I wouldn't be shocked to hear that Serpa gets 15 days for that one.

That was quite a recovery!
Hope he bought a lottery ticket last night.

got hit with 30 day suspension. as for the horse (from drf link in previous post)

some additional contessa quotes here http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/horse...r5vUzOD5Il3KeN

Well, guessing he won't be bugging me for a while...

Yep, he had already got hit with a five day suspension for another infraction, plus this 30 now...odds are he's not making many friends in the jocks room. After I saw the video, I thought for sure we'd be hearing some story about the two of them in a post-race brawl.

IMO the guy should be banned permanently, that kind of behavior is not acceptable. I hope Freudian Storm is ok.

Fast-forward 16 months, and Freudian Storm stopped badly and collapsed in the stretch of the 7th race today at Finger Lakes. The chart only says "vanned off", but they had the screens out and he never got up again. I kept hearing heart attack in the buzz around the track, and if that's actually the case, you have to wonder if the concussion and heart attack are related. I know concussions can cause blood clots..

So can an excess dosage of stop bleed medication!
