Yeah I'm waiting to see which jockeys are trapped outside the top 20 that expected to make it. I'm sure I should have a better angle on who's the regular rider of whom, but I don't. Until then, I don't want to assume Jon's in. I'd be really happy for him if he makes it. I hope in the mad scramble for a Derby mount that he manages to hang on. You can't blame those other riders for doing what they have to, or Sadler for thinking about using one with more Derby experience, but it makes a great story, Jon getting this opportunity. If you believe in Derby gods, Court and Talamo could be in a good position.
