I'm glad Johnny V. is off of AGS. . . I respect him as a jock but I just don't think him and AGS have meshed well. . .

I couldn't agree more! Maybe I am dead wrong ???? JV. However, I think Gomez style fits this horse. plus it will help AGS odds quite a bit with Todd's main man getting off.

lololol Jeremy Rose, he did take 2/3 of the triple crown not to long ago

I agree I would take Rose over Jara, but never over R Dominguez.
The only jockey I would chose over RD is Prado. In the latest
Thoroughbred Times #1 ranked jockey last year was RD. I guess
Pletcher doesn't know what he is doing with putting RD on Sam P.

i would take at least 5 guys over ramon, he tends to get his horses into trouble... rose is possibly the most underated jockey in the game

Personally, I don't care for Rose at all. In MD he thinks he owns the joint and has no problem crowding or taking an aggresive ride against other horses and jocks shipping in from smaller tracks. To me, he is overrated and pompous, and I would take Rosie or Fogelsonger over him in MD anyday for any of my horses.

That's probably a terrific barometer if you believe there are nine jockeys in the country better than Edgar Prado.

Just look who he rides against at Monmouth Park absolutely nothing except for Lezcano. His stats are inflated by riding there.

Don't think ANY are quite as good as Pletcher's boys...wish you luck in the Derby,
but I'll take any of Pletcher's trainees over NoBiz...he won't be in my top "5" on Derby day!

I guess you won't be cashing a ticket then.

Well, if you're a fan of Circular Quay then this news has to make you feel better (and the 6F work from Sunday).
If CQ was iffy and/or having issues, there's no way Johnny V would be announced as the jockey on him.

And I think CQ, Scat Daddy and AGS all have a chance to hit the board on May 5th.
