Paddock talk: The art of giving prerace instructions
february 2011 by jnchapel
"When I was riding, I had this trainer who showed up in the paddock with a piece of paper," Sherman said. "He had actually written out where the horse should be every step of the way -- the half-mile pole, et cetera. All the way around, he had it written down. I looked at him like he was nuts. I said to him, 'How in the world can you expect me to ride a horse with a map?'" (Opens with a great story from Angel Cordero.)
