Riding Rose last out cost them $120k. Wonder whose idea that was.

I don't think this is a bad move at all.

Are you saying he can win or even come in second in the Wood?

I don't even know who's in the Wood. And, he'll be half the price with Ramon up, which probably makes him a no play. I do know, however, that this was, arguably, the worst ride of the year to date, and SD would've won for fun in the TBD. Why not see if he's any good? Can't fault the connections for that.

IF I was an owner... I would be looking for the easy screw running the against the very best in a prep, just to get the jockey of your choice.
I'm sure Rajiv Maragh would have jumped at the chance to ride the Fav in the 500k Ill Derby.
