This is the top ten in Del Mar right now:
Espinoza
Nakatani
Garcia
Solis
Michael Baze
John Court
David Cohen
tyler Baze
David Flores
Aaron Gryder
Now lets look at the top ten at Saratoga:
C. Velasquez
G Gomez
E Prado
J Castellano
J Velasquez
E Coa
K Desormeaux
J Leparoux
F Jara
Notables not making the top ten at Saratoga include:
Ramon Dominguez, Richard Migliore, Jose Santos, Shaun Bridgmahon, Mike Luzzi
How many hall of famers are in those names in So Cal? How many big rides have those guys had outside of Nakatani, Espinoza, Solis and Flores?
Now compare that to the guys in NY.
As far Desormeaux goes, his problems in So cal were more of a result of politics than his riding ability.
Look at it objectively and you will see that it isnt even close.

I was looking at drf.com's from the Monday standings which was only updated through Friday. Desormeaux was in 3rd at the time. I knew that a couple of the guys behind him had won a few and passed him. That's why I said top 5. Even with the upated standings, Desormeaux is still doing better in New York than either of the other two guys are doing in California. What evidence do you have that Desormeaux's problems in Southern California were a result of politics? Are you in the business? Maybe you can enlighten me about the politics out here. I've only been in the business out here for over 20 years. It wasn't politics. There were just a lot of riders that were better than him.
