Saez is awesome though, probably the most underrated rider in the country and the only person I felt bad for when Maximum Security got DQ'ed. Did a story on him last summer at Saratoga too and he couldn't have been nicer.

I think Lukas gave him a big shot a couple of years ago in a major stakes race at OP and he did well. Now Pletcher is using him more and Johnny V lesser as he takes fewer mounts while he gets older.
