Supposedly there are still a few that are thinking of opting off. RD talked the rest out of it. The word is that they are worried about injuries but not sure the correlation between the track surface and the injuries at AP.

I just heard that there was concern as a young jock got severely injured yesterday, but it was on a horse in the last that dropped dead (didn't break down).

The person I talked to said jocks were working horses on the track this am, and they didn't hear jocks or agents talking about refusing to ride this am.
