Pletcher, Levine, Clemente and Dutrow Jr. all have horses at Monmouth. I understand what you are saying Eric, but if you could win a few races for these guys at Monmouth then maybe you could get a few mounts for them at Belmont. Coa rode at Monmouth a couple of summers and then he made the move and look at him now. I think Garcia rode there too. i just think that the kid has ridden enough in NY where the trainers know what he can do. But the colony is so deep that you could always have a guy like Bejerano or Borel to ride your horse. I think it would be better for him to ride more in Jersey where he has a chance to ride live horses and get in to the winners circle more often. I would think that trainers would notice if he did well in Monmouth.
