That's a very valid point, but also in this situation (with the jockey only being 19) they might be having these discussions anyway. And I'm guessing that the phone will probably ring a few times in the next couple of weeks to see how committed they are to Talamo.
I hope he keeps the mount. I think Andy said it best on the MSG show/feed. When he said that we all just saw something very special. I think he was right, that's one of those trips/races that people will remember/be talking about for years to come.
