Saturday June 23 Picks!

Good morning everyone,
Paddock Girl here:


Lots of news going around Hollywood Park and the West Coast Circut. As you might know,  I'LL HAVE ANOTHER has been sold as a stallion and now he will be...at Japan!!! After the retirement due to a tendonitis that took him out of the Belmont Stakes, things are working very well,  its new residence will be the island of Hokkaido... we'll  let you know when he's gone to Asia.

Someone else is leaving California. Jockey Joel Rosario announced last Sunday that since June 27th its new home will be the East Coast. The news came as a surprise to everyone, since he has been the top jockey for the last couple of years, winning plenty of riding titles and stakes races during his time here. Tomorrow will be his last day riding at Hollywood Park... Watch out Belmont and Saratoga, a new jockey is arriving soon, and he ain't new at all.

On different news, Congratulation to jockeys Rafael Bejarano and David Flores. Bejarano who is leading the riding winnings this season, turns 30 years old today; and Flores is expecting its first child in his current marriage.
