He moves to Churchill for the end of the meet...I don't know why he just left Arlington, I talk to him on a regular basis and he never hinted of leaving Arlington last week. He was strongly thinking about riding in New York after Hawthorne's fall meet....I actually thought he is the best rider at Arlington but never gets the best horses so thats why he doesn't have the best win percentage. Anyone that plays Churchill don't throw this kid out because he is a very hard worker and gets all he can out of every horse.

Only thing I can think is that Churchill has bigger fields. Have to figure Leparoux and Bejarano will move their tack to New York after CD is over. Guidry is coming to Arlington. Borel will likely rule Ellis but after him there isn't much so there should be some live mounts for Mena at the Pea Patch.

Leparoux and Bejarano are moving to Saratoga. Guidry will go to Arlington. Borel and Toupes will dominate Ellis. So that leaves the door open for Mena. I think it is a great move for the kid. The kentucky cirquit is prob the best cirquit for a young rider.

UNREAL...Haber, I was telling you about him 6 weeks ago how much he has improved....Please tell him that I SAID THIS....Decent move, he won't get too many rides at Churchill but he can win the Ellis meet.....

What pisses me off about this is that he is still getting decent priced horses home at Arlington, he will get played alot at Ellis I bet.....

Also, for the record, Shane Laviolette is the WORST rider on the Arlington Circuit, but I HAVE A CLOSE CLOSE 2nd to him in Lori Keith, she is absolultely brutal, if Laviolette and her have kids(if they were married) you would get the all time worst rider in horse racing history...

Haber, you see that Laviollete tried to win the early double on me on Saturday, only to get DQed...I WAS LOVING IT....
