I thought Tyler Baze should have got the mount.

I hope Jon Court doesn't get bullied out of the mount.

Based on his golddigging wife in Jockeys she'll make sure he stays on. She seemed more concerned with her new dress and purse than much else.

Hey, now, we didn't see the purse. Some are practically works of art. I'm sure she's gunning for a nice hat this time 'round, but what women wear to the Derby is, to quote Joe Biden, "a big f***ing deal," so she'd be no different from thousands of other women on that day.

I really hope he gets it. I know it's eat or be eaten on getting Derby mounts, but if somebody knocks Jon off of Line of David when they've gotten to ride the KD before, I'd be disappointed. Nevermind how frustrated Jon Court would be.

I really hope Jon Court keeps the mount but this horse with this trainer seems like a prime candidate to be Rafael Bejarano's mount.

I don't think Line of David has much of chance unless ALL the speed tries to rate and he is left out there all alone and they have the track a conveyor belt ala War Emblem, so if Jon does lose the mount he didn't losing much.

Sometimes they outsmart themselves with the rating (and some break poorly or get bumped en route to the turn) with someone ending up on the lead by default. Whatever happens there, I think being in the post parade and hearing "My Old Kentucky Home" would probably be a highlight in and of itself for Jon.

You know, on Homeboykris, isn't there a point for Dutrow/the Sergio's guy/Joe Torre where it's perfectly clear that your horse isn't good/sound enough to be running in the Derby off three months rest, and maybe you point somewhere else? I mean, isn't there someone at CDI or the NTRA or somewhere begging these guys to reconsider?
