    Mike Smith for me.Borel is just to aggressive mixed with emotion=boom or bust.Smith is going to give you his money's worth.

        It all depends which track the race is at. Churchill,Kenneland,Turfway,Kentucky Downs I take Borel. Anywhere else it would be Smith.

          IMO Borel is the best jockey out there.He anticipates lanes opening up better than Adrian Peterson and goes through holes that other jockeys would be afraid to go through.Only at Belmont would I want a local like Dominguez,Castellano,or Maragh

              This is completely accurate.

                  Mike Smith was great before he got injured, now I wouldn't take him for nothing. He has almost cost the great Zenyatta at least 3 races over the course of her career. Only b/c Zenyatta is so great and much smarter than Smith does she remain unbeaten. Borel comes up with big wins and isn't afraid to make a move. I'd take Rosario over either, though.

                          I'd rather have Jorge "Chop Chop" Chavez riding. He whips like no one else!

                              I have a distaste for Mike Smith ever since he jumped off Prairie Bayou in the Belmont years back.
