Best rider available maybe? I don't know just saying some trainers use different riders.

I think Talamo is young, but can ride just as good as anyone out there right now imo. I think he did a very nice job on Revenge staying patient and not getting worried and rushing him up to soon, I see no reason why they won't stick with the kid.

Barring injury, there is zero chance they switch jockeys at this point.

I agree, I know that every time I see a horse break slow, I write him off forever. Even if he hasn't had any semblance of a gate problem before.

I've picked every Derby winner since World War II. Not bad for a bullshitter.

And Talamo is riding IWR.
