If Coolmore want to stand by him they should tell him to move to the US-see the ban out there, ride work and then when the ban is spent ride for Tabor/Smith. Saratoga is probably the bext option. He could go there when the Oklahoma track opens in April. There would be many people there who would be rooting for him to make it back to the top-unlike here where they either will use him and then spit him out or just sit there until fouls up again.
And he'll get the support of organizations like the Racetrack Chaplaincy of America who will act as a support team-i'm afraid something it looks like he's sadly lacked here. He needs a mentor like Pat Day or Jerry Bailey.
He'll be able to go to program meetings completely unknown-even in big racing towns-unlike here...
I don't think staying in Europe is an option.
