 He definitely didn't pass any of those genes off to his son Jason, that's for sure

[oh canada]

World class pilot, went though a lot of pain from many wrecks he got involved with. The worst was at Windsor with this pacer of Tingley's that had a bad habit of sticking his toes in every so often. He just cleared the field down the backstretch with a 3 wide brush and bang!! Down he went and every horse in the field run him over. To top it off it was Billy's second night back in the bike after a terrible spill at Mohawk that sidelined him the prior 3 months........a bad luck guy!! Then there was Janice!! Another story of hard luck😉
