travel_vic · this guy got ALL the good mounts at Mountaineer (although that is a strict oxymoron as there are No good mounts there but it is a relative compariosn I guess). Wait until he is low man on the totem pole at a recognized middle or big time track. Then you will get a great lesson that it is the HORSE and not the rider that wins races. · 2600 days ago

I have been a DeShawn fan for quite a few years. "Discovered" him by watching night time races on TVG. If he's aboard, the odds go down. Just a great workng jockey who rides under radar and gets way less attention than he deserves.

buckpasser · Likin. Good point about Bourbon Courage. But you would think that if you are planning Hansens schedule to go to WV you would look around for the top jockey there, if you weren't going to go with your previous jockey · 3177 days ago
likin sparks · TV, correct and that "brand X running back" may either chose never to go pro or simply just suck and not be able to contend with the elite. Would like to see Parker go ride for the big boys though. Buck, you would think but for the smaller tracks like Mountaineer and Charles Town... I could see the jocks there jumping at the first opportunity they get for the big races. · 3177 days ago

Hope this guy gets some recognition, for 2011 he came in first 400 times.

travel_vic · Many statistical leaders over the years (big fish small pond0 came from the wilds of West Virginia racing.....Now if they transfered that dominance to the NY or Calif circuit, then we could talk about them in a better light · 3394 days ago

I would like to know more about Parker as a man, I know or kind of know somewhat of his skills, though only been watching him for a little over one year! How would i ever know that Parker would see this though? Of course there are other riders I do enjoy watching, but I know others that watch him like a hawk when he rides! I had asked a long timer, why he does not get called to bigger races? Is it because he is Black? They said it is due to lack of long time experience!!! Regardless, I still love watching him in action, and truly I would like to know more about him! I am a believer in Jesus Christ, and I met Jesus personally. though I am not here to share my testimony, I must share I hope that others find Jesus as their Lord and Savor as well!
