Personally I'd ditch Franco too, you don't heave your weight around like that asking for a lead switch, that's just ham-handed IMO. He'd ride nothing for me after seeing that.

Franco has had several subprime rides on this horse. I admire the connections' loyalty to him, and I know he's popular in New York, but there are better riders available.
