Why is it such a big deal that they would changes jocks? It happens every day. They have given Pino eight straight mounts on Hard Spun including two TC races, is that nothing? If I'm the owner I would want the best rider on my horse and if Gomez was available I would go to him in a heartbeat. Especially after the ride in the Preakness.

It doesn't happen everyday in the middle of a TC series...

No other jockey could have given Hard Spun a better ride than the one Pino gave him in the derby. Despite the speedy workout he had that week. Then again, the ride he gave him (at his home track, mind you) in the Preakness merits a jockey change all by itself.
