DERBY NOTES: Uh Oh.. No Bango; Noble's Promise 50-50

[NTamm1215]

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.

Apparently he made the decision right after the Sunland Derby according to Elliott Walden.

If Borel somehow gets his 3rd Derby aboard Super Saver then he is officially the greatest jockey to ride at CD

Borel posted on his Facebook this morning that he is on Super Saver.

Borel uses a computer?

All I know is Super Saver will be on some of my tickets just cause of Borel.

What I am saying-the guy could ride a mule in the KD and I wouldnt toss him

if they let him anywhere near the rail this year every jock in the race should be given days... they might put him on the turf course this year if does that rail riding

Interesting to some but FORTUITOUS for NP (should he make the Derby). Is there are worse 'big name' jock than Albarado. (And so many others are fighting for the distinction)

I had given it to Johnny V years ago but Robby's in the running.

But Johnny V can win you the close one with the come again dueler. Of course, this only happens when the Pletcher good stuff is flowing.

Someone asked me why I refer to jocks, in general, as 'RETARDS'. I challenge anyone (with some knowledge of trips) to watch a few of Albarado's rides and come up with another explanation for them.
