Rene did win a title. He was on a roll at that time though.

It's a shame what happened. Hope he's doing o.k.

It's looking like Rafael Bejarano should be send Joel a thank you card for shifting to NY. He's already won the first two races today and he's on the favorite in the third today at BHP.

Wasn't Bejarano already winning at a 28 or 29 % clip BEFORE Rosario left?

True, but now he's winning at 100%. it's a small sample.

Gomez is his only real competitor out there when he decides to ride.
Freakin colony is abysmal.

I laughed.

Like I mentioned in Sunday's play along thread...you have Agapito Delgadillo winning at 14%, Edwin Maldonado winning at 17%, DFlo winning at 17% (would be under 10% if he wasn't a decent turf rider), Chantal is winning at 15%.

Most overated jock colony. Ever.

He seems to be going the Prado route, quickly. When he was at his best, Rosario and Bejerano couldn't touch him.

Ramon Guce has a mount today. One less than Quinonez has. I just can't figure out why Quinonez can't succeed out there, he seems like a good rider.

no cares about riding at HP summer, if you did real well there it means you missed most of the big summer event days back east.

Other than Rosario going east, when has the Southern California colony been any better than what is riding at Hollywood right now in any part of the year the last couple of years?

Not sure....my point was using the standings at HP summer to judge how a rider is doing in the socal circuit is like using Aqu winter to judge who is doing well in NY. You actually only want to be there a few weekends a during the whole meet.

Looks like Nakatani is coming back to Socal. Tweet from Christina Oliveras just a few minutes ago.

I have not followed him in recent years but I always like him as a rider.

I thought that's what Fairplex was for?

Things were going good there until you brought up luzzi.

I'd seriously take CC Lopez over him every day of the week.
