Mike Smith admitted this type of thing has ALWAYS gone on and he personally gave up mounts to Angel Cordero to win Saratoga riding titles, one time 10 mounts in 2 days, and Pat Day would ride at small tracks at night replacing jocks to win the earnings title, Julien would have done it as well and I frankly see no big deal in it.

Was the point of this post to:

A) Condone Pedroza giving Gomez a mount on the favorite

B) Insult Dominguez

C) Make up something about Leparoux trying to get a mount in a stake on a day where CrC ran an 8 race program with no stakes races

D) All of the above

Which one is it?
