Still I agree that Garcia should have the freedom to do what he wants. If he wants the riding title, he should be freed of his commitment

It's not like he was riding Smooth Air or another top contender in the race.. He was on Alaazo.. Not exactly a lock to bring home the $600,000.
With that said, it didn't speak well of Garcia or his agent that they would've taken the mount for $5,000. So the riding title is really important, but for $5,000, it's not THAT important.. Sheesh, either take the mount or don't, but don't try to swindle people out of cash.
