I think he may be exposed as being a very average rider, and may have a tough time going back as there is plenty of talent (relatively speaking) in the jock's room at Del Mar/Hollywood.

Good luck to him, I hope I'm wrong - I don't see him taking over many of JV's mounts - especially if he doesn't make a strong impression very early on.
Yeah, but on the flip side. With the full fields that NYRA will have, you would think that he should have no problem finding mounts on a pretty consistent basis.
