I was under the assumption Victor was also riding Whiskey Ticket but now see Martin Pedroza is his rider so that's why I said that.

Victor was actually Bob's 4th choice to ride American Pharoah in his second start. Bejarano, Smith and Stevens all said no for one reason or another. I wouldn't expect him now to be bumping off regular riders just because of American Pharoah.
Interesting that the other Jockeys said no to American Pharoah. Is it because they dont want to be "contract" rider exclusively for Baffert? I knew that Martin Garcia had issues not getting other top horses because he was first call for Baffert. Could this be the case for the others?
