Default Smart Move By Valdivia

Jose Valdivia was always in the same spot in the jockey standings in Southern California. Every single meet, he was always 15th or 16th in the standings. He's not a bad jockey but there are about 15 guys out here that are better than him.

He won 4 races in the first 4 months of 2010 out here. Then he moved back east to ride at Delaware and Monmouth. In 3 months, he has alread won over 40 races on the east coast. I'd say he made a good move. I think winning over 40 races in 3 months is slightly better than winning 4 races in 4 months. I'm sure he wishes he made the move a long time ago.
