I thought the Gomez off Colonel John thing had more to do with Eoin Harty being committed to Nakatani on CJ. Gomez only rode him last time because Nakatani was still injured.

do you guys/gals read anything into a jock taking off a horse? I thought that after his last race albarado was pretty much sticking on him. Julian (it seems) has been having a rough time lately. Is there any real line up as which jock is on which horse at this point. I would assume bridgemon on pyro but other then that does anyone know anything?

I don't know if I would call that "having a rough time lately."

have no idea, the way the article was written it appeared it was gomez and his agent who made the call. but that doesn't really mean anything.

Who exactly is Albarado taking off for? Other than one or two colts, Denis seems pretty highly thought of and I can't imagine he's likely to get onto the colts regarded higher than Denis. Didn't he pick up the mount on Denis when Calvin Borel had a conflict?

yes, he got denis when calvin went with turf war (whoops).

albarado has opted to ride country star in the ashland.

as for denis being highly thought of-- i think that was before his connections suddenly changed his schedule, deciding to skip the southwest, wait for the wood, and then go to the derby from there--meaning he'll run one race in 11 weeks.
