He's going down to Delta Downs, which is really upsetting to me. I've grown very attached to him, he's ridden all of my horses and has worked very hard for me all summer. He rode my 3 y/o today and said if we run him a mile next time he'll win- I guess he had a tremendous late kick from out of nowhere. It was only his 3rd start, but I guess the first two times my trianer has been telling my jock to 'send him', which apparently doesn't work. Today my jock let him break, settle, and run at his own speed, then around the turn he asked and GOT. Just not enough room for 6 furlongs. And nero is racing on Monday, my jockey loves him and has been doing great on him (2nd and 3rd), so its really sad that now I've got to get a new jock. But apparently my jock already picked a new one and is going to go down the line tomorrow morning and tell him everything he knows about the hroses and how to ride them. I'm gonna miss him though.

I know how you feel. NOw you worry that the new rider won't know the horses as well and ride as well. Hopefully you're guy will pick a good rider and have good judgement for you.
