Wonder why he left California? I always thought he was a decent rider, I definitely like to use him in my wagers.

In all fairness, in the spring/summer months, there's probably about a dozen or so tracks running in the northeast from Massachusetts down to Virginia. I'm sure making the races competitive with quality isn't easy.
