Didn't they use American jockeys the last time they took a shot at the Kentucky Derby (2002 with Johannesburg and Castle Gandolfo)?

The 2000 Guineas is the same day.

O'Brien said MOH is a KY Derby horse(he is also nominated to the TC)but the owners will decide between that and the Guineas

Arthur's Tale on the other hand was suppose to do the Wood-Peter Pan-Belmont route,but now are looking at the Derby. The only problem is with $200,000 in earnings he prolly won't get in since the Arkansas Derby will get 2 or 3 in and the Bluegrass will get Santiva and whoever wins in

yeah but gone are the days of Gary Stevens and Jerry Bailey.

Since JR is taken, they will usually go with Prado or Gomez. God forbid Jamie Spencer is used
