It looks like the cut to min purse levels allowable?

YO VIC Monmouth Park is looking for a few small fine youngmen. No earthquakes and claimimg races that go for 70k.. And you don't have to deal with the weather..

Neither me or my young men are going anywhere. We're very much looking forward to riding, calling and have a great summer at Hollywood Park.

It will be interesting to see the jockey colony that ends up at the Jersey Shore this summer.

I think it is..You would think the fact that the best stakes are on the weekend would keep Saratoga very well stocked. Should be interesting names.. If your Joe Bravo your in for a major change..No more 6 horse fields that he is 2/5 in that is for sure..

I think Bravo has been up against it the last couple of years. Obviously he doesn't ride as many races, but the last couple of years he's had some competition from guys like Coa, Lezcano, Trujillo and Centeno. But you would think that the competiton will get even tougher when a few of the NYRA guys migrate south to Monmouth for the summer.

Yes. Better to play it your way. Say something and remove all doubt.

Yeah it's understandable because you still have your dignity. That alone would make it nearly impossible to move east and kiss every ass and taint on the backside of Monmouth.

Please keep me posted though.

Thanks for listening.

Well the summer is a coming and you and yours will be behind the eight ball racing for popcorn and peanuts daily.. Perhaps you haven't digested 8mil to 5.8 so let me help.. You are working for 20% less money...its a pay cut! Uhm MP is will be attracting the best of the best..I guess 3 and 4 don't think they can hang when the chips are on the table.. Jeez throw your hat in the ring

Freddy,

Listening to some small-time horse owner's advice regarding where a successful, meet leading jockey should hang his tack is like a trainer with a top class mare poised to give Zenyatta a run for her money listening to some jock agent's suggestion to run against stakes colts at distance beyond her scope instead.
