Derby Trail Forums - Martin Garcia / no bug no good mounts

I thought for a minute that he would be able to keep alot of the live mounts he had. But now looking at some of the mounts he is on since he lost his bug a few days ago, it will only be a matter of time before he packs his tack, and ships back up north. Hollywood is always the slow meet this time of the year cause all the big stables are keeping the prime stock in the barn until the big meet at santa anita. He is currently in 2nd place in the jockey standings and I would be surprised if he doesn't stay in the top five. Don't get me wrong I don't think he is a bad rider by any means. But the water is very deep at anita with the likes of Solis, Nakatani, Gryder, Gomez, Espinoza, Flores, Valdiva, Miglorie, and P.Val*. Then you have your top notch claming riders like Pedroza, Baze and Court. I wonder how will come out west with the bug to pick up where he left off. I personally think that Cunningham kid from New Mexico that is currently in NY should come. I like betting on that kid seen him put a few good rides in at Aqu.
