OK, I'm ready with my top five and I feel pretty confident here so don't give me any sh*t.

I've been looking over all the information and all the posts on Derby Trail, I've watched all the races and my top five are IN ORDER:
















12,
7,
8,
17,

and.......
11

Now, I don't want anyone coming back saying they liked these horses first.
So there!

If you lose your a complete idiot for picking your horses three weeks out. If you win, your a idiot who finally got lucky. You don't seem to understand, your going to lose either way. Wait until they at least draw the derby and then make your picks. Even if your wrong, youll get alot less flack.
What kind of jockey change would get you on/off a horse?

I did, it was the perfect prize. Mr. Steve is right. The history of a race is a thing that is often overlooked.

It wouldn't get me on or off a horse per se, but it may influence where i put the horse on my list. As an example i would be willing to bump up a horse who has a local rider, who knows the track. I would also downgrade a horse a horse who is being ridden for the first time by that jockey. Realistically, nothing will change my top 3, but the exotic filler horses are what usually make the payoff and i think thats where the small things matter.

nak is riding colonel john...its always been his mount

hockey2315 04-14-2008 11:31 PM
Supposedly there are rumors that Nakatani is off Col. John and Gomez is on. Not sure there's much to the story, though. . .

Story is on this page: http://www.thedowneyprofile.com/#Racing
