With other Kentucky riders like Alberado, Borel, Mena, Castanon, and possibly Theriot at Saratoga this year .. and with Prado seemingly picking up Asmussen .. it's not like he will have every good mount from Kentucky barns either. No Biancone babies either I don't think.

I realize he crushed most of these riders and won this years Keeneland meet by double digits .. but the NY riders have the same disadvantages at KEE that he will coming to NY. He only beat Borel by a single win at CD and trailed him on win percentage.

Good pts all. I do note he has a mount in every race opening day albeit most are on outsiders, at least according to the m/l. He'll certainly need Maker and Zito to have strong meets for him to have any hope of being in the mix.
