Very nice group and I will continue to root for the horse with the silly name but I really do like Prince Mambo and think he might just win against the big(ger) names.

So Opie is onboard Mongolian Khan instead of Craig Grylls (who I know doesn't always have the mount but he has for his latest wins...)... who snaps up MDP?

Nice that Mark HIlls rides my Turtle boy once again.

Fun race with Survived and Blood Brotha (didn't realize he was 9).

Oh SO happy to read this!

I think Craig is still serving his suspension for careless riding causing that spill in the Royal Stakes on Jan 1. He comes back next week, if I remember right. So Opie is taking that ride in his absence.

I'm not sure who MDP is going to ride! I would guess he will ride Prince Mambo, Margin Trader or Palace Rock. Hopefully should be confirmed soon.

MDP rides Palace Rock, Matt Cameron takes Prince Mambo. So I wonder who's going to ride Prince Mambo in the Derby - somehow I doubt Matt will give up the ride on VSB!

Does Sam have a Derby horse? I know he's had a few different jockeys but since she rode him to what I think is his best win I would maybe be go with her.

Good point! I don't think she has any confirmed at the moment, so that's probably quite a likely option for her.
