Maybe he will come back to Tucson, his birthplace, and pick up a few mounts during the final season at Rillito Park next spring...

maybe this is a subliminal diss from Johnny V

Maybe he prefers the ocean to the hot-sauna in the rain forest. Look, we have 2 good riders out here(Rosario, and Bejarano,) and Rosario has problems on chalk. He either gets tight on them ,or simply takes them back, and waits until it's far too late to win. It's the same result(betting-wise it doesn't really matter why he does it.) Fact is, he has his eye on the oddsboard. He is simply a better rider on a 6/1-9/1 horse than he is on chalk. That leaves Bejarano and Gomez. There is no way I would trust Rosario to ride a horse who is chalk. There is a lot of money to be made at TOGA, but there are a lot of good riders there trying to get it.

I'm also looking for Nakatani to wake up from his 8 month coma.

Dont count on it. Nak can ride, but his mounts cant run. I think he has changed agents 12 times in 10 years.

He was on fire at Del Mar last year. My phonebet account can attest to that. He came into that meet not so hot either if I can remember correctly.

[Bobby Fischer]

seemed a little like Nak was better on dirt, with the way he likes to ride.

Oh hell yea, he CANride.That's why his questionable efforts on chalk stand out (like a sore thumb.) Most the horses he rides, he has in position to win. If he doesn't have the horse, then what can he do? Then he has some of these chalk horses hopelessly out of position from the start of the race, and it stands out.

i beg to differ, you have 1 good rider out there.... Bejarano (and Baze if you wanna count No Cal), and even he (Bejarano) came from back east. The only reason why Rosario Dawson is 2nd in the standings is b/c he competes against the Baze twins, John Court and Joe Talamo.

It will be interesting too see how much Gomez takes away from Bejarano's mounts at Del Mar, Frankel likes them both so.....

as for Rosario... i'd rather have Channing Hill and a coke any day of the week

The riding colony in Southern California is horse racing's version of the "Island of Misfit Toys."

I fail to see why it's important where Bejarano came from. I guess if you want to say where it'd be from it'd Peru. He and Gomez will be dividing up the best horses, and Rosario will keep bringing in the horses that other people can't bring in. Then, he will not be able to bring in horses Delgadillo can bring in. Un huh...Un huh...

my point is, that Gomez can race against tougher jocks and not be the first call guy on everything back east, where the jockey colony is deep. Or he can go to So Cal and compete with Bejarano for all the best mounts..... I guess in the end, my point is the left coast jockey colony is not that good and i can understand why he's headed back out there.

Then, he will not be able to bring in horses Delgadillo can bring in. and i i know what you mean about that one, i also had Rosario in that race last weekend as well

[10 pnt move up]

Does anyone seriously think he is leaving because he just aint making the money out east? This is strictly a family, comfort of living move. I am sure he can clear 10 million a year out east with or without pletcher having a great year, how is he doing so far this year with pletcher down?

Have you watched Rosario ride? Even McCarron said last weekend that Rosario is the next great So Cal rider. I think that is a heck of a compliment coming from one of the all time great riders ANYWHERE.

Rosario can ride any type of horse on any surface from any part of the track. He is fearless and can race ride with the best of them. What are your knocks against him?

watch him ride a chalk...... then get back to me. He still makes stupid mistakes, and just b/c McCarron says he's the next "great one in so cal" doesn't mean he's automatically the goods. The colony out there sucks and he's 2nd to Bejarano by like 30 wins. A lot of people said Talamo was the next great one as well.................... cricket
