Jockeys Out

[JolyB]

To continue this thread, here is a link to an interesting article in DRF about the consequences of Ricardo Santana's decision to ride at the Fair Grounds yesterday. Upon his return to Oaklawn, his regular track, he faces a lengthy quarantine period and had to take himself off of his mounts today.

After all of that difficulty, it is a shame that Finite, probably the primary reason he went to NOLA, performed so poorly in the LA Oaks. His agent was quoted as saying, "We cannot not show up for the biggest day of the year at Fair Grounds"

These riders have to go through a lot to ply their trade. We never really consider the logistics some of them have to handle to honor race calls at various tracks.
