Perry Ouzts will be 69 years old on July 7th....and he has won an incredible 75 races at the Belterra meet thus far. That is both amazing & infuriating that it doesn’t get more widespread renown & notoriety, not only across horse racing, but the world of sports in general.
@DerbyWill @alabamastakes And how about the George Woolf award next year??
@DerbyWill He would win zero races at a big time track. At what point does a man his age become a danger in the saddle? No way he's a strong as he once was, and no way he can react as quickly as he once did.
@DerbyWill Rode his first winner for WJ Danner. Who himself is still kicking.
@DerbyWill Fact he’s not in the Hall of Fame is shameful imo. He represents racings working class & grinder. The fact the sport wont put in such a qualified recipient into its own Hall of Fame is unexplainable. His omission would be an embarrassment if he did become a national story
@DerbyWill Horse racing doesn’t really get national respect except for the Derby and Breeders Cup.
@DerbyWill @alabamastakes Most of the HOF voters wouldn’t last one lap around the track on an exercise pony. Put Perry in the Hall of Fame today. Stop the silliness.
