Thought this deserved some attention...

Gomez to ride Any GivenSaturday in Kentucky Derby
by Jeff Lowe

Trainer Todd Pletcher has his jockey plans in place for the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1), with Garrett Gomez taking the call on Any Given Saturday.

Edgar Prado will remain on Scat Daddy after guiding the colt to a victory in the Florida Derby (G1) when regular jockey John Velazquez was out of town for the Dubai World Cup (UAE-G1) program.

Velazquez will ride Louisiana Derby (G2) winner Circular Quay in the Kentucky Derby, Pletcher said on Monday.

Velazquez also has been the regular rider for Any Given Saturday, who finished third in the Wood Memorial Stakes (G1) on April 7 at Aqueduct.

Fernando Jara will stay on Illinois Derby (G2) winner Cowtown Cat and Ramon Dominguez will ride Sam P., the third-place finisher in the Santa Anita Derby (G1).

Awesome news... couldn't be happier about Prado staying up on Scat Daddy. :cool:

Too bad Edgar won't get back to back Derby wins now. ;)

Here's to hoping they all run out of the money.

We'll see about that. ;)

What good jocks are left for the rest of the field???
Looks like Pletcher got the best ones!

not only will they all run out of the money, but none of them will make the super...

LMFAO!!! Thanks for the laugh tonight. I appreciate it.

im sure there are alot more capable jocks then jara and dominguez

um.... its not intended to be funny, and look back.... i have been saying that for 2 months, even before ravel was injured.

It is funny. You're nuts. He will have 4-5 horses entered... that's 20-25% of the field. You're saying that not ONE will be in the super? Right.

Any Given Saturday
Circular Quay
Cowtown Cat

Oh yeah, Sam P.

I'm glad Johnny V. is off of AGS. . . I respect him as a jock but I just don't think him and AGS have meshed well. . .

theres nothing funny about it, everyone of his horses have major major faults, everyone knows this. they will all be overbet and none of them will run good enough to make the super

Jeremy Roenick??

And Mike S???? You can't be referring to Mike "take em wide" Smith, can you?

yes i am saying that
this group is so wide open, i would not be suprised if he dosent have a horse finish in the top 6, its wide open/ I like all of them more then anything pletcher is running

lololol Jeremy Rose, he did take 2/3 of the triple crown not to long ago
and he dominates laurel, i'd rather have him over ramon or fernando

Its not out of the realm of possibilities, just ask Nick Zito.

Major faults? I'm only concerned about one listed. The other 4 probably have a legit shot. It's not like we're loaded down with talent here...

And yes i am, hes riding alot better latley cost to cost hes getting it done.
