I have a serious question for Vic. Why do you think A. Quinonez didnt get to retain any of the mounts he could have carried into the BC? His name shows up in the PPs as the last rider for a number of horses, and I think he has done some great riding this year.

Sadler was not overly happy with his ride on Tell a Kelly in the Oak Leaf. Bigger reason though was he wanted a rider who's more familiar with Churchill Downs.

As for Switch. Sadler thinks Rosario is better than Quinonez and gave him the best possible chance. John is very refreshing in that way. He's very frank and honest about that kind of stuff. He pulls no punches. If an agent can't deal with that he can't ride for Sadler.

I know Alonso was disapointed when Richard's Kid skipped the classic to point for Dubai. Not a big shock there he's Arab owned.

Were there others?

I'm eagerly awaiting Byk's opinion on this, I got it at 1/2 that his head almost exploded as this was unfolding.

I think those were the ones, thanks!
