Pete - Yeah, that was sort of my point - he never got into a rhythm, and never really got any decent mounts as a result of his commitment to the meeting and that there were better jocks that were more familiar with the surface and were committed to sticking around... It wasn't like trainers were looking to displace first call riders to give him a leg up on a live mount when he'd be gone 6 weeks later and would have pissed off a top flight jock in the process..
I see the same thing happening with Borel @ GP... No one is going to risk damaging a relationship with a top flight rider to give him anything live...
