10/26: Belmont Park ($27k C/O)

[GPK]

I love the closer look comments on Sparks Will Fly in the 5th:

"She clearly took a step in the right direction in her first start over turf in her latest outing, but it is worth noting that comfortable early pace she attended that day, and it's a little interesting to see Maragh aboard another in here."

Really? Maragh off/JJ up is a negative jock switch?

Its not really negative, but I can see why its being noted. Maragh is capable enough. From the replay I dont see anything Maragh did wrong to get booted off of Sparks Will Fly. So on paper it looks like his agent decided to ride the 10-1 shot who comes out of a race where the winner ran a beyer in the mid 40's.
