So will Aaron Gryder, Martin Pedroza, MC Baze, etc. I don't think that any of the top trainers out here think that Desormeaux is as good the top guys. I'll ask a few of them.

With regard to Rene Douglas, you are correct that he left because he was in somewhat of a slump and his business had tailed off. However, it wasn't as if this had been going on for 5 years. He had a little cold streak. I don't remember exactly how long it was but I think it was les than a year. I think he made a mistake leaving so soon. He's a top rider. If he would have stuck around, I think that things would have turned around for him. I think he's a much better rider than Solis. I don't think it's any contest.
