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

Calvin's a good guy but he can't spell "Super Saver." The girlfriend posts on FB for him.

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.
