Enter Crocky

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jeff Lisandro's fellow countryman and good friend Billy "The Croc" Agyros just arrived on the rail to cheer him on.

"Jeff, take it easy... leave some bracelets for somebody else!" quipped Crocky.

Should Lisandro win today, his three bracelets would cover every stud discipline-- stud high, stud 8 or better, and Razz.
