i'm not a fan of Bridgmohan. He's more Jeff Sanchez than Eddie Castro. He'll win a lot of races, but I just don't think he's very good. Manny is what he is; he's not getting any better. Trujillo is far better than he was this time last year and will be riding first call for several top trainers for the first time. Sometimes things change and I expect Trujillo to lead in stakes and money won. I also expect Maragh will win the Monmouth riding title this year.

I think Bejarano gets overlooked. He can do it all.

He is good...but IMO...I think he tends to be a touch overrated...but he is still young.

He gets the leftovers in Sar. and G.P.: He don't have the big name trainer like some others. Although, with Guidry going to Arl. this summer. RB and D. Romans could hook up @ Ch. Downs and stink up the joint.

One thing about R Bej. when he and our man Ch. Simon hook up @ Ken. Downs it is $$$$$$ in the bank!

The #'s with Leparoux are even better. I think 5 for 6.

Maragh could be 3rd in the standings with that horrible jockey colony, I think Centeno might be riding this Monmouth meeting

Agree, He will win the rider title easliy if he doesn't get hurt early in the meet like he
did in 2001, 02, and 05. He will be 1/2 to win that meet

Bravo is extremely tough at Monmouth, maybe tougher than any other jock at any other meet. He knows that track like nobody else does. It's like the horse for course routine, and in this case, it's the jock for course. Over that track, he is extremely sharp. He fits the style of riding at Monmouth very well, like a glove, and the track/style suits him very well also.

Roster wise -- he rides first call for Breen. He also rides for Levine. There are two of your top 3 trainers right there. Walder is not coming back and he moved on from Bravo last year. Orseno will use Bravo. With that kind of lineup, you start off with a big edge. He pretty much gets the first call on who he wants.
