The majority of derby contenders with northeast connections have traditionally been located in south Florida during the winter.

He is going to always have the "what if" label because he refused to compete at the top level year round. Sorry if I'm not impressed that he beats punk a.ss Jose Valdivia Jr. in a 4 horse race. Boy that was an impressive win today.

You'll get no arguement from me that he's beating a very weak colony in NY all winter. This year might have been the worst I have seen in a long time.

That said, Dominguez has traveled a majority of the weekends riding Derby contenders and other stakes horses. Plus, he still dominates when everyone comes back to NY. I think eventually you'll see him go down to Florida for the winter. But it doesn't change what he does the other 8 months of the year against the best colony around.
