Which young jock would you have..

The one thing that I have noticed with Frenchy is that he tends to be wide alot. At Turfway though, he usually is on the best horse.

Hard to answer this question because Mena does not have anywhere near the connections that Lep has, thus limiting his option. Mena gets that opportunity, he will impress. Guy used to be scared but now he is ruthless, I have seen him put people into the rail, trick others to trying to make him drift wide, and just down right take it to people there. He is improved a million fold since riding here at Arlington, he could easily win the riding title here next year I think as long as Douglas doesn't come back

He'll be back at Ellis to defend his title.

He will come to Arlington all meet and try to win this title with his recent success, he has alot of connections up here. I know a trainer that told him to go south (Ellis and Turfway) to improve because he was only getting a couple rides here a day.

Well if Torres doesn't come back he'll have a shot of beating Emigh. Maybe.

Please dont count out Urial Lopez

Since Julien has lost his bug things have changed some. Prior to this I would have never even asked my trainer to get him up on my horses knowing that he would not ride for a small timer like me. But it does go to show you how things change when he was at my barn last week trying to hustle mounts for my horses.

I will say that Julien is very good after the race in talking with you about your horse. I appreciate it alot and I think he has good instincts.

I have not had Mena up so I do cannot compare him with Julien in that regards.

For what its worth right now I like Dean Butler up on my horses at TP.

thanks

Dean Butler has the finish of 99 cent woodstain.

It really all depends on who comes. With the way Bridgmo is riding he will need to come back to get some friggin confidence. If you get Douglas/Bridgmo/Emigh then he won't get the opportunity but if Douglas and Bridgmo stay away, then Mena has a shot to beat Emigh.

Torres, he is a good rider but he is too sporatic, I heard he was considering going back to Saudi Arabia
