If Comma to the Top goes and Nakatani keeps that mount then I can see Borel getting on Nehro. With Nehro already shaping up as a ridiculous underlay because of his monstrous close into a wickedly hot pace in the Arkansas Derby his odds will likely go down even more.

Twice the Appeal will more than likely not be ridden by Christian Santiago Reyes in the Derby. It's tough to say Borel will take a mount like this, but we all know what happened in 2007.

Dominguez is likely to keep the mount on Stay Thirsty if he gets in, so there are no Todd Pletcher trainees that Borel could jump on at the last minute.

I understand trainers staying loyal to jockeys, and nothing against Eddie Castro, but if I owned Toby's Corner I'd let Graham Motion know that Calvin Borel might be in the jockeys' room this year and to do something about that.

Nehro has gotta be the horse Borel rides. He is the type of horse Borel likes to ride and Nehro might just need the CD Jock Experience that Borel has.

Doubt Nakatani gets off of Comma to the Top,#1 CTTT likes the poly #2 he is a gelding. If Nakatani plays his cards right he could have a ride on him for 2 or 3 more years in Cali. I know Nehro has ALOT better chance and Nakatani wants to win but who knows?

What about Santiva or Animal Kingdom for Borel? I would also throw in Jaycito IF The Factor goes,if The Factor is out then Martin Garcia will ride Jaycito
