Why he might be annoying:

    He is an alcoholic.
    Although he was jockeying triple crown contender Smarty Jones, he opted not to run a preliminary race at the Belmont.
    Because of weight problems he was forced to quit racing for a year and a half.
    He dropped out of high school at sixteen.
    He admits: 'I don't know nothing else. This is it for me. I gave up education and everything else to do this. This is all I know.'
    He pled guilty to assault after he got into a physical altercation with one of his buddies (June 2001).
    He failed to reveal his assault conviction on his Derby application and was fined $1,000.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was the first Canadian Jockey in over thirty years to win the Kentucky Derby (Ron Turcotte aboard Secretariat in 1973).
    His mother, Myhill, showed horses and his father, Dennis, also a jockey, moved to Hong Kong when he was seven.
    He was primarily an unknown prior to winning the Kentucky Derby, prompting USA Today to call him 'Stew Who?'
    After winning the Derby, he said: 'It's a feeling I can't explain, It's like the greatest thing in the world.'
    He was the first, first-time rider since 1979 to win the Kentucky Derby (Ronnie Franklin aboard Spectacular Bid).
