I'd agree with that. I mean the guy leads the country in earnings and has been top notch day in and day out in NY. Cannonball and Gio IMO both have big chances. Just found it weird that he couldn't have picked up some more live mounts or even mounts in general.

He's an East Coast guy and that region isn't as well represented this year as most because of the surface.

It's not really that surprising. . . and most trainers aren't going to switch riders at this point if a certain jockey has gotten them to this point.

True. And I guess to go along with that he hasn't really pulled the best graded stakes mounts in NY this year with the exception of Gio Ponti and Fabulous Strike who isn't even running.
