Default Suggestions for Casino Drive Jockey
I would like to see Edgar Prado or John Velasquez. Prado was brilliant with Birdstone and I can see that type of race unfolding with BB. JV though is the best in the game. I still think his ride on Rags was brilliant. I lean towards JV.

In a race that is often a jockey's race that is not a smart move. They should have gone with experience. Although this horse looks like he can run all day. BB might just be a super horse but that is what it will take to beat this horse at 12f.

Please.. That's nonsense.

Yutaka Take is one of the best jocks in the world. He rides in races bigger than the Belmont regularly.

Isn't that 'experience' you suggest the type Kent Desormeaux brought to Real Quiet?

How many races has he ridden at Belmont? How many has Johnny V?

Trivia: Name the runaway Belmont Stakes winner who Yutaka Take rode to a 2nd place finish behind High Cascade in his career debut at Del Mar?

He rode Point Given in his debut I believe...

That is really disheartening.

You're right. Should be longer. What we need here is some more discussion about Big Brown, and throw in a psychic for good luck:

I have a friend who actually do business with the owners of Casino Drive. Apparently Saturday night my friend was at dinner with some of them in NYC and they mentioned they were going to use Tyrone Carter. Apparently he worked the horse all week, and with Desormeaux committed to BB, they wanted someone now, and they really were impressed with Carter. Rumor is Take's daughter is graduating from high school and refuses to miss it and come here to ride the horse in The Belmont.

This thread is pretty ridiculous, but this is one of the most hilarious things I think I've seen yet

I think there's more than one out there. The tone of the message was so serious, it was almost believable

Maybe you are right. Considering some of the people on here. I bet there were a few google searches trying to find out if Take has a kid and if so, when she is graduating.
