![]() Crap. When it went on like that with nothing firm, I got the feeling it wasn't gonna work out. Can I just ask, is there something Jon's got against him that keeps some trainer from wanting him? I mean are these just the breaks and it's nothing personal, or is there something that he needs to do that he isn't doing?

I admit I am biased. There were too many races (outside of California) where I believe Jon put the horse in a position to win.

![]() What am I missing? Sadler's obligation is to do the best he possibly can for his owners. Opting for a top 5 jock over a mediocrity makes sense to me. It's not personal, it's (good) business. Not like this one has much of a shot but why not do all you possibly can, nonetheless?

![]() Gomez is also replacing Theriot on Blame when he returns in the Schaefer on the Preakness undercard, not Derby related but it's another instance of a winning jockey getting replaced.

![]() It sucks for Court but Sadler is a west coast trainer and putting one of the top jockeys out west on his horse obviously is a good move on many levels.
I know this couldn't have hurt him as bad as getting taken off of Leroids de animaux. |

![]() Jon was out west for a few years and just recently left. It's a bad decision. Bejarano passed on the Arkansas Derby. What Sadler is really doing is saying his horse isn't that important.
I wish them all the best though. Thanks for listening. CP |

![]() No Class from "Line of Davids" connections. This rider switch will not get their horse any closer to the winners circle.
