Am I the only one or is Donna Brothers just a first rate analyst? She seems to say things about horses- good or bad- that others are either afraid to say, or just don't understand.

It is also relative--consider the people around her. No wonder she stands out.

Stevens couldn't get the Blugrass winners name right.
Hammonds finally told him, 'it is Stately Victor, not Stately Warrior.'

Mike Smith on Jackson Bend if he gets in per DRF

WinStar has most of their Derby riders firmed up. Albarado will be on Endorsement and Borel on Super Saver, no surprises there.

The only WinStar horse with no rider so far is Rule but I think Dominguez is getting the mount.

I never know what to make of jockey decisions, but it is interesting to note that Albarado is going with Endorsement regardless of what happens with Noble's Promise.
