OK, I'm ready with my top five and I feel pretty confident here so don't give me any sh*t.

I've been looking over all the information and all the posts on Derby Trail, I've watched all the races and my top five are IN ORDER:
















12,
7,
8,
17,

and.......
11

Now, I don't want anyone coming back saying they liked these horses first.
So there!

Wait until they at least draw the derby and then make your picks. Even if your wrong, youll get alot less flack.
What kind of jockey change would get you on/off a horse?

I did, it was the perfect prize. Mr. Steve is right. The history of a race is a thing that is often overlooked.

It wouldn't get me on or off a horse per se, but it may influence where i put the horse on my list. As an example i would be willing to bump up a horse who has a local rider, who knows the track. I would also downgrade a horse a horse who is being ridden for the first time by that jockey. Realistically, nothing will change my top 3, but the exotic filler horses are what usually make the payoff and i think thats where the small things matter.

Supposedly there are rumors that Nakatani is off Col. John and Gomez is on. Not sure there's much to the story, though. . .

Story is on this page: http://www.thedowneyprofile.com/#Racing
