Why NO J R ?
Now , i confess, i do pay attention to jockey/trainer combos. So, when I saw JR not riding Twilight Meteor I wondered why. Many times I will bet both, so I can retain some sanity. In this case I didnot use either of them. Prado, is certainly no slouch, but this is the reason the horse paid $15 to win and i wasn't on it. The only reason i could think of was that JV wouldnot be riding him next time and Prado would, so get him familiar with him in a race. Another thought was, maybe Pletcher will try him on the dirt next out and JV already has a couple of the prime Pletcher contenders.
