Exactly. Too many good riders to leave in the room for these guys to get many live mounts. And, any live mount they get, they will get exactly one chance to win on. Whether they can ride or not is completely irrelevent....it's all about access and they will have none.

any chance the mig will show up to ride? delmar sucks but he may crush there

Trujillo will probably get some horses from Florida-based guys if any ship up (which may be more likely this year with the problems at Calder). . . He's better than Theriot in my opinion but I haven't really watched either one too closely.

Speaking of Trujillo - was Dry Martini retired? I don't remember hearing anything.

I'm shocked they aren't staying for the humongous purses at Ellis and/or Arlington.

i agree with you guys to an extent..... but, Borel came in and had a nice meet at Saratoga last year, and he had a lot of momentum from the whole Street Sense hype. Not saying The Riot was winning triple crown races but he’s making a name for himself in KY and LA. I wouldn’t be surprised if a couple trainers throw him a bone or two.

As for Elvis, I have no clue what he’s going t do up there. If you can only muster up 10 wins at Churchill for the entire meet, what makes you think you can make it at Toga? My guess is that some trainer has promised to use him up there….. but I still see guys like Channing Hill getting more mounts then him.

I wonder where Bejarano is gonna be held up for the summer…… he could potentially own all of CALI by staying out at Del Mar or go head to head with some of the best in the world back east…. Decisions decisions
