Who thinks
 

that we could see jockeys start to leave SoCal and who would?

I dont think so. They cannot go anywhere else and get the purses they can get in SoCal. The only ones that may leave would be the lower level jocks. They prob would go to Turf Paradise.

Leparaux (sp?) already left

Leparoux already left for Fairgrounds. He claims it was the track conditions but I suspect it was more the mounts he was getting. Maybe a young guy like Talamo would go back to Fairgrounds but I would doubt any of the top guys are leaving.

See,it has a lot to do with whether they have enough big horses here.I think Nakatani may have been getting close to it before he got hurt.He isn't as locked into barns as other guys are.I don't think he rides 1st call for anybody does he? Seems to want to keep himself free to get the mounts other guys can't ride (due to having to ride for other barns.) He is a SOCAL born n' raised guy though.So,maybe he just isn't ever gunna leave.He has threatened before,but stayed.I could see Quinonez,M Garcia,and Blanc leaving(they are probably better than the horses they get,and aren't locked into any particular barns.) I think Talamo wasn't that far from leaving,but then he got hot.I don't care for this guy on the lead at all(saves nothing,) but I think (doing everything else great)he shouldn't have cold spells.He doesn't get the horses he should get,and I have no idea why.Hate to see him or Rosario ever go(good off the pace riders who can finish.)

im sure robbie a is crying..tha kids back......
