This was my first winner in Florida. Trained by Joe Borst a retired Jockey turned Trainer. While jogging her the wrong way one morning per Joe’s instructions, when I approached the Starting Gate there were Horses being schooled there to break out the gate. They sprung the latch and rung the Bell whereas Skinaflea lunged forward with her head to the ground and literally pulled me over her head and I landed square on my back knocking the breath out of me, and off she went bucking and kicking. leaving me breathless and embarrassed. The Calder girl was Jockey Ronnie Beherens wife.
