I look for things to pick up for these guys again.
At this time last year, there were only two guys in New York who could have done well out here: Jerry Bailey and JV.

Rene Douglas? Douglas wasnt even in the top 5 last year in So Cal. He left because he had no business!!!! And why did he have no business? Politics? You mention Douglas but he isnt even in the same realm as Solis.
But we arent talking about LAST YEAR we are talking about THIS YEAR. YOU made the claim that the colonies are comparable and now you are trying to back off of that preposterous claim.
To say that Bailey and JV are the only two that could have done well out there is a ridiculous claim. They wanted Bejarano to come out for the longest time. Castellano would do extremely well. You dont think Prado would do well? Lets not be silly.
