Me too, but if I had to pick from that group.. I wouldn't. Man do I hope that's not what the top of the jockey standings looks like in the future.

Fernando De La Cruz, hot bug at Indiana Downs. But the field could include a new "Talamo" in the 10-15 year time frame.

Joe Talamo I hope, but I am obviously very biased.
I think he is going to get apprentice of the year.

In 10-15 years I predict that if a jock shows talent as a bug he will immediately develop a leg injury (or a condition that could lead to a leg injury) and will retire to stud.
