Derby Mounts

Any chance Joe Talamo gets a mount ?

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.

Borel just got Twice the Appeal...another Sunland horse

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.

Watch Me Go running in the Derby after that effort in Illinois? Guess they can dream.

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