Arroyo riding in L.A? Please tell me he came out here for a vacation or a funeral.Last thing I need is a G damn D.Q.

ARROYO JOINS RIDING COLONY ON THURSDAY

Norberto Arroyo Jr., who shifted his tack from New York to California this week, will make his Hollywood Park debut in the third race Thursday aboard C S Viviana in a maiden claiming event for 2-year-old filllies.

"He was on horses for (Bob) Baffert at Santa Anita yesterday and (Julio) Canani here today," said agent Jim Pegram. "He will be on a couple more mounts on Friday."

Arroyo, 29, has earned more than $30 million in purses since he began riding in 1999 and has won more than 20 stakes in New York.
-----------------------------------------------------

We don't have the Boogie Down Bronx out here.Pedroza and Solis are Panamanian,and seem to like it out here(each of them been here for over 20 years.)Maybe he will like the year round warm weather.Always wondered how the Puerto Ricans,and the Dominicans can deal with that cold winter in New York.Arroyo has plenty of talent.Just simply refuses to keep horses straight though.It is a big problem.Funny how Gomez' old agent seems to have the book.

Over/Under until PVal and Noberto or Nak and Noberto THROW down in the jock's room?

So who has Kent D book now? Seams funny how the agent calls NY quits before the jock.

he will win afew of the ping pong str races..

Vic mentioned that he was coming out over the weekend. Vic said on TV that Arroyo better keep his hot temper in NY.

He will have a ton of dqs if he rides the same way out here.



or,to be correct...


If he rides the same way out here,he will have a ton of dqs.

What in the world is going on with these jocks these days. The California circuit is full of journeymen now. The east coast is loaded. The midwest is dominated by a bug boy. Weird times when it comes to jocks.

Cory will be the first, Pat is getting older and will bug Nakatani till he snaps. I say over 3 weeks and on a Thursday, maybe a Sunday.

It's got alot to do with the quaility of races. West doesn't have the top owners and smaller fields.

I say he gets into it with a jock in a cheap race, so I gotta go with Pedroza getting the KO in 2 1/2 weeks.:mad: :mad:

I don't agree with this statement about journeymen.P Val( along with the retired July Krone) has always been so incredible at picking up any little message a horse puts out.They are practically horse psychiatrists(as well as jockeys.)There are tons of horses that break there maiden with Pat,and can't come close to winning again (until he gets back on them.)Then ,you have one of the best turf riders in the country in Nakatani(he is a top money rider.)Then,you have one of the strongest physical riders in the game in Espinosa.If they need to be ridden all the way,he is one of the best at that.Good luck trying to beat Court,Cohen,or M.C. BAZE if they get a length ahead of a field.This bugboy Garcia is an incredible gate jockey.If they don't win on the front with him,then they are in trouble,cuz he breaks horses very well from the gate,and has the balls to open up on the turn,and it's over.I am not as impressed at all with him from off the pace.I am still waiting for that turf maiden from G Gate to run again.He found nothing but trouble on him at 5 1/2 at HWD.THAT IS A SINGLE FOR SURE WHEN HE RUNS.IT WAS ON A WEDNESDAY ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO IN THE 5TH RACE.Pedroza can ride with anyone,but is quite emotional,and lacks consistency.One only need to look at the last 2 rides on Charmo to see that.Sorenson does not belong on the grounds at all.Atkinson is a journeyman with o.k. ability.Gryder is good out of the gate on up close stuff. God forbide you play him on anything else(you are asking for da pain if you do.) As we saw yesterday,and last Friday night,Ochoa is not good at keeping a horse out of trouble in a full field.He will continue to find trouble.No, there ain't a hole there dummy.Improvement needed.Arias is better at making decisions.I prefer to use Solis from behind (mainly in allowance and stakes.)Getting a little long in the tooth.but very good with high class stuff from off the pace going 2 turns.I don't think it is a bad jockey colony.I'll tell ya what is bad.What is bad is this seemingly endless # of maiden cow filly races.I have seen enough of those damn races.Stop already with that.Just because they are healthy as weeds, doesn't mean it makes for good entertainment.

I say he gets into it with a jock in a cheap race, so I gotta go with Pedroza getting the KO in 2 1/2 weeks

Thats enterainment I'd pay to see. Oommpa Loompa doompi do, I have another puzzle for you.

People make too much out of the fact that Kent D.,AND GOMEZ left town.If you remember,Nakatani was btching and talkin' about running too.Why? They all 3 want to be leading rider.They all 3 are bright enough to figure out that they are PVAL'S BTCH if they stay.Nakatani is just barely bright enough to see that there is a lot of money to be made here without winning the jock title.The other 2 are taking a break from sucking PVAL'S WIND(SIMPLE AS THAT.)

interesting move by arroyo, i think he cant hack it out there if he maintains his cool. i still say him and pederson would make the best mixed tag team. jens weapon of choice is a pitchfork that she enjoys chasing people down the shedrow with and norberto wields a mighty pool cue to clobber his opponents with LOL

Update...Says he always wanted to come out to SOCAL,and he loves it.Says he ain't leaving it.LOL...Just like I said...He likes the weather....in "SOW THERN CALIFORNIA."

I see the people on the East Coast are real broken up about losing this guy..LOL.. simply unbearable..LOL.

LOL, hes such a lost and will be so hard to replace. Cry me a chocolate river.

You will live in happiness too!! Like the oompa loompa doopity do!!
What do you get when you're left at the break?!
Causing the trainers and the gamblers heartbreak!
Getting your mount left and going real wide
Being a dope and coming up the dead inside
I don't like the looks of this!!!
Oompa loompa doompity do
