Good Question. It had to do with breeding, getting the grade one placing, that negoiation that was going on during that meet. Multiple factors actually. But if you see Chris McCarron, ask him he taught the course to help emphasize the importance of a jockey's ride as extending further than just a particular race. By the way, caught the Siro's gig when I was in Saratoga for the week a couple of weeks ago. Good job. Interesting show. I may catch it again on Saturday. Trying to find a horse to beat Curlin.
