Mike Smith, why are you avoiding California?

This Saturday at Belmont Park, Mike Smith is flying across the country for a $350,000. Ramon Dominguez gave up the mount on Mucho Macho Man, so Kathy Ritvo, got Mike Smith to fill in the mount.  If this makes sense to ANYONE out there, please explain it to me.  Its not like there aren't any big races going on in Southern California this weekend (ex. Hollywood Gold Cup).  Mike, are you not getting any mount? Why fly across the country for that kind of money? I love you, but this makes NO SENSE.
