Corey Nakatani id be ok with, hes probably the best rider in form now in America. He is schooling everyone all over the East Coast, from New York to Hot Springs.

Mike Smith never ever use in a million years, I just dont like the guy and his riding style. One of those people you just dislike for some no good reason, and hes one of those people for me.

I would ride Mike Smith. Best in the business. I'm not a fan of Bejarano.

Oh God please change the wording before you get slaughtered.

Would anyone like to think they might give someone a shot... say, Alonso Quinonez?

I get slaughtered daily. I'm ok with it. Mike Smith is a legend. Great guy as well.

I might see if Bejarano is willing to jump ship from Secret Circle.

Might be stinging just a bit about not riding Bodemeister.

bejarano chose to stay with secret circle for the ark. derby, i'm pretty sure he knew that meant he wouldn't have bodemeister as well. the decision had to be made sooner or later. why would he ditch that horse, and bob, for another?

I'm not saying he would. The thread was who do you think might be available that's really good this late in the game.

You're stating some things as fact that I can only speculate on. If in fact Bejarano chose Secret Circle over Bode, which could very well be true, then only he and his agent are kicking themseleves now.

As for ditching Bob. For this one race THE KENTUCKY DERBY, loyalties go completely out the window. Jocks and agents try to WIN THE RACE at all cost with little regard to hurt feelings after the fact. Javier Castellano might be able to speak to that.

To be fair Matt, the entire bolded portion is not completely delusional, the East Coast, New York and Hot Springs are actual real locations.
