Best post evarrrrrrr

I think Byk has already said it before.
Jackson Bend would be a perfect horse to point for the other Derby's.
he could really make a lot of $$$ if spotted right this year.

NBC revealed it's Derby/Preakness broadcast team today:

Bob Costas, Tom Hammond, Gary Stevens, Donna Brothers, Kenny Rice, Bob Neumeier, Mike Battaglia

Am I the only one or is Donna Brothers just a first rate analyst? She seems to say things about horses- good or bad- that others are either afraid to say, or just don't understand.

It is also relative--consider the people around her. No wonder she stands out.

I missed that thread the first time through. Glad I'm no longer the only one unscarred. I'm still in awe of it as a supreme example of TMI.

Every time I watch Jackson Bend come (no pun intended) ITM I think about taking him more seriously. I guess this thread is the icing on the cake (no pun...nevermind).

Stevens couldn't get the Blugrass winners name right.
Hammonds finally told him, 'it is Stately Victor, not Stately Warrior.'

he (stevens) also catapulted stately victor into his derby top 7 after the blue grass, b/c he said this guy alan garcia is going places...... TOP 7 :eek:

Mike Smith on Jackson Bend if he gets in per DRF

WinStar has most of their Derby riders firmed up. Albarado will be on Endorsement and Borel on Super Saver, no surprises there.

The only WinStar horse with no rider so far is Rule but I think Dominguez is getting the mount.

NT

I never know what to make of jockey decisions, but it is interesting to note that Albarado is going with Endorsement regardless of what happens with Noble's Promise.

Apparently he made the decision right after the Sunland Derby according to Elliott Walden.

If Borel somehow gets his 3rd Derby aboard Super Saver then he is officially the greatest jockey to ride at CD:)

NT

Borel posted on his Facebook this morning that he is on Super Saver.

Interesting to some but FORTUITOUS for NP (should he make the Derby). Is there are worse 'big name' jock than Albarado. (And so many others are fighting for the distinction)

I had given it to Johnny V years ago but Robby's in the running.

NT

But Johnny V can win you the close one with the come again dueler. Of course, this only happens when the Pletcher good stuff is flowing.:rolleyes:

Someone asked me why I refer to jocks, in general, as 'RETARDS'. I challenge anyone (with some knowledge of trips) to watch a few of Albarado's rides and come up with another explanation for them.

Borel uses a computer?

All I know is Super Saver will be on some of my tickets just cause of Borel.

What I am saying-the guy could ride a mule in the KD and I wouldnt toss him

if they let him anywhere near the rail this year every jock in the race should be given days... they might put him on the turf course this year if does that rail riding
