They would certainly seem the best options, but sadly no.

Kent is and always has been worlds better rider then Chavez especially on the grass. One or two good years is not a career and that is all chavez really had.

You know, I loved Jorge Chavez back in the day. He was solid in 99 and 2000, but as the years went by it slipped farther and farther away. He did have a decent Santa Anita meet given the frequency and quality of his mounts. He certainly can't be thinking it'll be any easier in NY, especially with guys like Cornelio V and Alan Garcia getting a TON of mounts nowadays. Oh well, he'll probably bail soon anyway.

If we throw Mike Smith in with Jorge Chavez, and a jockey to be named later, can you guys send back Garrett Gomez? It's pretty sad out here now.

Has anyone confirmed Jorge is coming back East? I didn't hear anything around the track last week, although I was only there toward the end of the week. I also didn't ask so that could be it as well.

From an outsider's perspective, and I haven't been following CA racing extremely closely, but Chavez has had a few good runs and a good meet or two since heading out there. When he first moved out there he said it was for good -- which of course means little at best, and actually means nothing, LOL.

Last time I took notice, he was probably riding at around 13% or 14% for the meet. He did seem to have a lot less rides than others though. I am not a jockey agent, and I certainly don't understand the intracacies of that aspect of the game -- not like an agent of course -- but I just don't think moving back is a strong or favorable move. It might be an emotional or family move, but I haven't spoke with Jorge in a long time.

BTW, if you are ever talking to him -- don't call him "Chop Chop"
