Let Lauro go and, I'm sure Kent will probably have something to say early as well. Jones need only sit behind them and take it away when ready. Probably won't happen this way as Jones is another one of the many WO premature move idiots, and he'll probably do his best to collapse the race for one of the plodders. But if he's value, I'll take a shot.

Wow!!! Excuse me but Jono is anything but a premature idiot.

-"Perfect Shower ($95.30) pulled off a shocking upset under jockey Jono Jones in the 119th running of the $503,200 Breeders Stakes, the third leg of the Canadian Triple Crown at Woodbine Sunday." By Ron Gierkink

-partnered 2005 Sovereign Award finalist (Top Turf Male) Jambalaya to win the Breeders' Stakes and the Grade 3 Saranac Stakes at Saratoga. Should have won the Arlington Million (dropped for Albarado)

What more of an angle then proven at Saratoga?


I'm all in!

Rather than quoting someone else, how about watching that race? You might actually then be able to formulate your own opinion. The horse won in spite of Jones. Which makes what Attfield has done up there recently all the more remarkable.
