Baffert fires Garcia
Any truth to this? I am seeing it all over Twitter.

Good luck, Garcia. You may have compromised your win percentage.

Wow! Baffert must have really been impressed with Mike Smith's ride on Bodemeister.

Baffert firing his VET would be news.

 You're right, wrong Pegram. I blame the wrap around for the photo on my browser. Yeah, that's it, that's the ticket.
Bad Fencebored, bad.  Don't comment when you've only skimmed the article.

Y0u have to have seen this coming look at who was getting the mounts last two months not the stable jock.
Mitchell will be his go to guy.

Bejarano has done well for Baffert.

Strange that it happens the day after Garcia has 3 wins for the stable, including a stakes race on Drill.
Bejarano should get the prime rides now.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Joel Rosario being used from time to time, either.

Garcia can ride for anyone he wants. He's a good rider. But he got hitched on Baffert's wagon and it took him to the top. I think he made a bad mistake is he chooses to ride for other trainers when Baffert needs him to race and work his horses.

I think it would be great if Baffert gave P. Val. a chance to move to the top again.
It would make for a great human interest story. Hall of fame trainer joins up with hall of fame jockey.
I'm sure P. Val. will show up every morning to work BB's horses.
Still a great rider that is finding it very difficult to get mounts at a race track that has more jockeys then horses.
P. Val. is still a young man and his skill and will to win is unequaled.
