Look at Luis Saez -- I'm not even a fan of his by any stretch -- but he gets booted off of Will Take Charge for Gary Stevens for no real logical reason.

Your are campaigning for the guy, all he has to do is move to NY or Socal and prove it like the rest of those riders. Its not that big a thing to do if you can ride and do the other things it takes to get good mounts.

The numbers say he's unquestionably the best jockey in the country. I've watched him and he is a difference maker.

If you want to make it in NY or So. Cal, you have to get 'made' and get your foot in the right barns.

Yea but talented riders, as you say this guy is, can do it. You quoted a bunch of made guys who did it, along with many others. Its really not that hard if you have some talent and marketing skills.

While everyone is concentrating on the racing at Belmont, Paco is 6 for 6 at Monmouth today with 4 races to go and a mount in each of those races.

Did you see the 3rd at Monmouth? Can't believe he stayed on and still finished second (moved to 1st via disqualification)

I did not, but I just saw that he won his 7th race today in the 11th and is on the 3/5 favorite in the nightcap.
