did rosario lose mount on ride on curlin?

He thinks Tonalist is the better horse, so that's a bad sign for Ride On Curlin backers.

Joel is probably factoring in that he'd like to ride more horses for Christophe Clement too.

I would never handicap based on where a rider ends up, too many factors in play.

IMO for a race like this Joel and his agent considered solely who they think has the best chance to win on June 3. While riding more for a major barn is always desired. It's very unlikely that factored into the decision.

Winning the Belmont on ANY horse is also a surefire way to impress live barns.
