I'm a little surprised by some of the Jockey assignments.
Prado on Monba? Surprising JV or Gomez isn't riding what could be Pletcher's best hope for a Derby contender. And I thought Leporoux was on Court Vision?

He does look like a contender. Always in the hunt. Right now, I am very interested in Make The Point. McLaughlin is the man when it comes to stretch outs and 2nd off. Will I get a price??

Coa has ridden Anak and Court Vision and now on E. Fields.
I find this interesting. I have no idea about arrangements and trainers likes and dislikes with Jockey's "fitting" certain horses. Is it that Coa made this choice and will it be as bad as Calvin's decision to take Turf war getting off the winner...? I dont often trust the Jockey's decisions if they are given that privilege.

It seems most think that Monba will be coming from off the pace but in his races before the race in Cali wasn't he near the pace? I've just got my fingers crossed tomm for a good performance b/c i have a future bet on him. I hated doing it at 15-1 but i love his breeding and the fact that he closed into fast fractions in that race in Cali. Dont have the money to bet right now so won't be betting tomm but am excited to see the race.
