Then there's the fact that this is his 4th race in 26 days....and third in 17 days. And, this follows three races in a 20 day span, which preceded his long 15 day layoff. I'm not saying I know what to make of this but it feels like a bit of a concern.

Treacherous race.

And E Z Dollar gets a HUGE jockey change.

No doubt you raise very good points. Between this one and Contessa's (other) runner in the 5th, Debbie's Fast Girl, with that very deceiving ground saving inside trip and COLLAPSE (it's relative given the sub 23 last split), while being absolutely beaten to death, there is MUCHO mind numbing material.

It is a huge switch and maybe what he really wanted to do was stretch out on the turf. However, even given the switch, how can he get a better trip than he did last time. Other than Cruz-Berrios's silly windmill whipping he road this horse perfectly last time.
