Default chris emigh

do you guys know where he is riding this winter? is it hawthorne?
on my three trips to chicago this summer i was really impressed with this guy. he was amazing.
by my third trip to arlington i learned to analyze the race in my usual fashion (i don't pay a lot of attention to who the jock is typically) and place my regular bet. then i would put an extra $2wps bet on whichever horse emigh was on. he won 3 times that day and one of the horses was somewhere around 9-1 so I came out way ahead (proportionally) on my chris emigh bets.
anyway, i was just wondering if he was still up in chicago for the winter.

Emigh is riding over at Hawthorne. I believe he's been there since their meet opened. He's winning at a 20% rate and about 37% in the exactas on the year
(inc. AP ). I don't play Hawthorne much, but when I do,... I'll always give his horses the 1st look. It''s tough to get a good Win mutual on him tho....the word is out. I agree that he's The Man in Chi--town.

he's always been pretty tough -- but he's been having a hard time getting the very best mounts because in summers past he was up against Rene Douglas, Shaun Bridgmohan, Robby Albarado etc -- this summer, he really had it all his own way until Albarado showed up, but by then he was way on top to begin with!

DO NOT Play SHANE LAVIOLETTE AT ARLINGTON. If you have to force yourself to play him, just don't do it in an allowance race.

Emigh is extremely solid at Arlington. For me, he seems like a better dirt rider then turf rider for some reason

True about him seeming better on dirt. On turf for some reason I tend to love Perez and Marquez Jr.

Both Block riders. The Arlignton turf is a very bias track, the quicker you figure out the more money you make
