That's a good point Freddy. I'm not sure you'll see the top jocks again if they have a second year Elite Meet, however. I was able to chat with Garret Gomez yesterday and he indicated that while he loves the area, he's going to Saratoga. The meet was not what he expected in terms of attracting good horses. He said the purses are great but he's spending more time in the jocks room than riding.
