Channing was 21-for-246 at Prarie Meadows in 2004 ... if you can only win 8% there as a bug .. and just 9% at Columbus ... you probably aren't much rider.

He deserves a lot of credit for lasting as long as he did in NY. Must have a real good personality and work ethic.

As Andy points out this decision is not surprising considering the mounts he has been getting and the colony he would have to face. The writing has been on the wall since he lost the vast amount of Hushion mounts.

Yes, on both accounts, as he's a very nice kid. Hopefully, he'll be able to do well out west. As others have noted on here, once he lost the Hushion mounts, his business was not too strong.

I wish him luck...I actually like him as a rider and would much rather have him on a horse I am betting then almost anyone else riding at Aqueduct right now.

Don't worry, I'm sure if he does well, Left Bank will come on here and redboard about how Hill layed over the colony because of his class.

All things considered, it's strategically a good move.
