Dana: Thanks for the statistics. We all exaggerate.
One thing that should come clear from the stats is that the shorter fields (and shortened racing weeks due to lack of entries)add a competitive element to West Coast racing not seen on the East Coast.
Your top six at NYRA would be the Ortiz Bros, John Velazquez and Javier Castellano (both of whom make their living riding short priced TAPs and Chads), Joel Rosario (who, like Mrs. Gump says, is like a box of chocolates) and then (choose one) Luis Saez or Jose Lezcano.
So looking at the top guns on the West Coast, I might say "advantage NYRA" based on the "relative" youth of the NYRA room.
If you brought some of the second tier Cal riders (S. Gonzalez, E. Maldonado, T. Baze, J. Talamo, etc) to NYRA, they would be every bit as successful as Cancel, Franco, Carmouche, etc. Just my opinion.
