Maybe he prefers the ocean to the hot-sauna in the rain forest. Look, we have 2 good riders out here(Rosario, and Bejarano,) and Rosario has problems on chalk. He either gets tight on them ,or simply takes them back, and waits until it's far too late to win. It's the same result(betting-wise it doesn't really matter why he does it.) Fact is, he has his eye on the oddsboard. He is simply a better rider on a 6/1-9/1 horse than he is on chalk. That leaves Bejarano and Gomez. There is no way I would trust Rosario to ride a horse who is chalk. There is a lot of money to be made at TOGA, but there are a lot of good riders there trying to get it.
