He went back to Mexico to care for an ill family member... not sure when he'll be returning to California.

J Lumpkins seems to be nomad, he bounces around from track to track.
He must have ridden at least 6 tracks for at least 2 month stay at each
one them. I know at least MNR, Del Park, Turfway and NoCAl

I know I've noted Lumpkins out here at this time of the year in the past, so maybe he has some seasonal motivation to where he rides.

I think I read he owns a farm in Kentucky, At Delaware his agent
was ex jock Corey Black.

Hmmmm. Watch Lumpkins with Stauffer as his agent. Just sayin'....

He and his family do have a farm in Kentucky near Turfway. He had been in Northern California before and has contacts with Hollendorfer and others. Doesn't ride at Turfway as much due to a falling out with his former jock agent in Kentucky.
