I was at the track that day, on the benches by the jocks room.....His whole family was there, brothers, wife, sister in laws kids all having quite a good time......Norberto wired ( grass ? ) a field at 25 or 30-1 and the two benches erupted...He stopped by the bench on the way back to the jocks room, all the high 5's ensued and the party began......but ended up in the slammer that night....He was taken off his mount in the 1st race the next day and even those on "the inside" didnt know why for a few hours.
