Interesting Johnny V riding now for Baffert.
That Union Rags colt that Mike Smith rode yesterday for Shirreffs was gorgeous.

McKinzie and Higher Power both aiming for BC. Too bad HP stumbled so badly out of the gate- he went to his nose.

Maybe Johnny V?
McKinzie will have new rider in Breeders' Cup Classic, per Baffert, who said he has informed Smith of change
McKinzie will have a new rider in the Breeders' Cup Classic on Nov. 2 at Santa Anita.
Trainer Bob Baffert on Tuesday said that he has decided to make a switch from Mike Smith, who has ridden McKinzie in all 13 of his career starts. This follows a second-place finish as the odds-on favorite in the Awesome Again Stakes on Saturday at Santa Anita, the colt's fourth second-place finish this year in six starts.
"I'm still going to use Mike on horses," Baffert said Tuesday. "But for the Classic, I'm going to make a change. I let Mike know now, because I want to give him a chance to get something else."
