There might not be a right or wrong to the decision. Coa was in a completely different place in his career and was trying to accomplish something different as well.

Also, it's not about winning races for those guys at Monmouth and getting a few mounts from them back at Belmont. That's not really the way it works. I mean, it can, but it's not mounts you are looking for -- it's live mounts, shots, something live. Being at the Spa now he can get on those horses now for the trainers who have those horses and are racing them now, working them, etc. He might make more money at Monmouth -- but personally, I think he ends up with a better Belmont meet by being at the Spa now. Same with Garcia. He and his agent were on the fence between Monmouth and the Spa and his agent (who is very sharp) decided to have Garcia pay his dues, lay the groundwork, etc. and head to the Spa. Coincidentally -- a two win day for Garcia today.

Like I said, no right or wrong, and I am not Ron Anderson, LOL.
