Looking at today's Davona Dale at GP, I noticed that Dominguez rides Pomeroy's Pistol.
He takes over from Paco, who won on her last time and knows the filly well.
RD likely won't hurt her chances, but why is Paco off?
He is not listed to ride at GP today.

Hurt, suspension?

Anyone know?

Chip in his elbow from that spill with Coa, out at least another week.

I believe Paco got hurt in the same incident that sent Coa to the hospital with serious injuries. Paco's injuries weren't nearly as bad but he may still be hurting.
