Comin' Into the Stretch

            ...... like a jockey must feel. He's sittin' on his horse, he's got all that speed and that power underneath him .... he's comin' into the stretch, the pressure's on him, and he KNOWS ..... just feels .... when to let it go and how much. Cause he's got everything workin' for him ; timing, touch. It's a great feeling, boy. It's a real great feeling when you're right and you KNOW you're right. It's like all of a sudden i got oil in my arm.
