Kudos to "Tricky" Ricky Violette
Ricky Violette Jr. has been a solid trainer for many years in NY and the South Florida circuit. He brought Upstart back today off a six month layoff at Oaklawn Park in the $350,000 1 1/16 mile GR III Razorback Handicap. Upstart toted top weight of 120lbs. under the Handicap conditions. Ridden to perfection by "Jersey Joe" Bravo and trained to the minute by Ricky V and his outstanding crew to win convincingly over a decent field, including Carve and Far Right. What a piece of horsemanship while Upstart won for the partnership of Ralph M Evans and WinStar Farm LLC. I'll post the video as soon as it comes in. TJ

I've always liked Upstart! It was nice to see him back in the winner's circle.

Hi Cree,
He always was a big good looking horse and he looks to be all that and more this season. Here's the replay. TJ
