Who Will Be The Favorite? What Price?

A hotel and plane on that late notice would have been about $7500.

He didn't have anything on the undercard on Saturday. Only one longshot to ride in an allowance race on Friday.

With the heavy heads leaving for the weekend we were on a TON of favorites in So. Col.

This was before Joel was the dominant force he is now. He was just finding his way in Ca.

Bejarano and Gomez were riding a bunch of winners there too.
It was either spend $7500 and ride a 50-1. Or make $30,000 at SA.

It was a business decision. But IMO not a matter of being cheap.
