Why, just because they ride in New York?

They both use to ride at Gulfstream and recently decided to stay in New York for the winter. I understand the money is good at the Big A. It's hard to convince me that they wouldn't move their tack back to Gulfstream for the winter if they were winning more races.

Gus the 2 we mention above are both riding really well right now. Not just on cheap claimers either. Corny won multiple G1's with Palace this summer. Maragh is the regular rider of Artemis Argotera and Wicked Strong.

I think Rajiv Maragh is mediocre and a benefactor of a dwindling colony.

But to each his own. This is the sport present day.

And the Ortiz brothers seem to get a lot of love but I find them to be nauseatingly frustrating. They're too inconsistent lately.

I think I follow racing enough to have this information off the top of my head. I understand the New York love.
