    Derby Mounts

    Here are mounts as I have lined them up:

    Archarcharch - Court
    Comma to the Top - PVal
    Dialed In - Leparoux
    Mucho Macho Man - Maragh
    Santiva - Bridgmohan
    Soldat Garcia
    Stay Thirsty - Dominguez
    Uncle Mo - Velasquez
    Toby's Corner - Eddie Castro
    Pants on Fire - Napravnik
    Midnight Interlude - Espinoza
    Brilliant Speed - Rosario
    Master of Hounds ?
    Nehro - Nakatani
    Twice the Appeal - Santiago Reyes
    Decisive Moment - Kerwin Clark
    Animal Kingdom - Albarado
    Watch Me Go - L. Garcia
    Shackleford - Castanon
    Twinspired - Mikey Smith

    Keep seeing Gomez is rumored to be in line for MOH - leaving Borel and Desormeaux as the big dogs not in the Derby this year barring late changes.

    Don't think so - he hasn't been on any contenders really and no chance they go with him over the likes of Gomez, Desormeaux, and Borel.

    i think calvin might get master of hounds who i think is the only horse who has been the distance, if so calvin will be coming up the rail if he gets through

    Problem is if Borel gets MOH that horse's price will probably be slashed in half of what it should be...Will lose all value for a euro shipper that already has a tall task at hand.

    Love it - won't touch Borel this year he isn't getting that run on the rail and he can take all the money he wants on that horse.

    Just my opinion, but I think it sucks when they replace a jock who
    has just won on a Derby contender, just because he has more
    experience riding in the BIG race. Give me a break!!! Borel has
    never ridden Twice the Appeal and gets the shot at the moon.
    Really does Frost My Nuts The HORSE wins the race not the jock,
    of course there are exceptions. Ask Mike Smith, Zenyatta's pilot.

    Gomez on master of hounds as I was guessing... That should set the field.
