And Solis is better? I agree that both have had their moments, but they both fit certain horses now. Solis does not fit Daytona. It pains me to tout against Daytona because he has been so good to me (nailed him singled on the end of pick threes for Del Mar, Hollywood and SA wins for 4 figure scores) but I am telling you, go back and see what Solis did with this horse when he rode him, and then look at the difference when Smith rode him.

Daytona will not win with Solis on his back. I really hope that Smith rides him when he comes to Arlington because he will win the Million if he does

It's going to take a serious effort for Euroears to go 6 for 6 on Saturday.

I was mostly kidding. Solis has killed me more times than I care to remember with bad rides, but lately he's been surprisingly above average. May just be on the main track, though, as I can't remember him getting me a horse home on the lawn in a long time.
