Clearly, Johnny V is not adept with these kinds of mounts. Most of his stakes wins have came aboard heavily favored Pletcher runners. I surely hope Barry Irwin replaces him with a real jockey like Robby Albarado.

Sadly, it will get dumber than this, but it won't be easy.

Waiting impatiently for your 44th post.

What happened 5 weeks ago in Churchill? Did the rest of the field lay down on purpose so Johnny V could win the Derby?

Have felt this way about Johnny V. for a while now...And i hated that he was the replacement for Robby in the Derby since i had a nice future wager on AK. Not very adept on come from behinders on the dirt for sure. Wonder what his ROI is over the years in Stakes? You people can think what you want but I'm allowed to have very valid opinions too! Andy and Andy are so blinded by east coasters it's pathetic on both of your parts!!
