New York's Loss is California's Gain
 

Jorge Chavez is coming back East....or so I heard the other day.

Charlestown or Mountaineer?

Also read that Calvin Borel is riding at the Spa.

He should come to Ellis Park.

Oh by the way...only 24 days away from our beautiful summer playground!!

They would certainly seem the best options, but sadly no.

If you cant do well in california right now then you certainly wont in new york.

Maybe he has sharpened his grass sprints riding in socal, plenty of those in new york!

Do you feel this way about Kent D ?

Could be a "expensive" one! :D

You know, I loved Jorge Chavez back in the day. He was solid in 99 and 2000, but as the years went by it slipped farther and farther away. He did have a decent Santa Anita meet given the frequency and quality of his mounts. He certainly can't be thinking it'll be any easier in NY, especially with guys like Cornelio V and Alan Garcia getting a TON of mounts nowadays. Oh well, he'll probably bail soon anyway.

Kent is and always has been worlds better rider then Chavez especially on the grass. One or two good years is not a career and that is all chavez really had.

Maybe Finger Licks Race Track or Saratoga Harness lets hope!

and Kent is basically a giant prick and pissed off to many people, it did not have much to do with his riding.

How do you come to this conclusion? DO you now him personally,or are you an owner?Trainer?

yes, I do know him.

Well,Kent D seems to be doing very well in N.Y.

yes, I think he is doing pretty good. He always has had alot of natural ability, and even struggling in socal he won around 16% the past couple years.

I've heard he's gotten himself in trouble with trainers before, but I've never heard a good explanation as to what happened. On the surface he seems like a good guy and for the past few years he's been one of my favorite riders. I talked to him after a race early in the Spa meet last year and he seemed a a little frustrated, but said to me.."I've got some live ones this meet, so stick with me." He wasn't lieing, after a slow first two weeks, he really took off from there.

Chavez just wins the 6th at Hollywood at $172.80 to win

maybe that will convince him to stay.
