Jeff Bonde confirmed Santiago-Reyes will retain the mount on Twice the Appeal..

There is speculation that should The Factor not run, Martin Garcia will pick up the mount on Midnight Interlude..

It's an 'equal opportunity Derby' I guess. These jocks have calls...

Eddie Castro
Cliff Berry
Christian Santiago-Reyes
Jesus Castanon
Kerwin Clark
Luis Garcia
Jon Court

While these, with 8 Derby wins between them, are currently mountless...

Garrett Gomez
Javier Castellano
Kent Desormeaux (3)
Mike Smith (1)
Edgar Prado (1)
Calvin Borel (3)
Rafael Bejarano

Great to see Eddie Castro remain on board. Although there were some spectacular rides that day at Aqueduct, I think his ride on Toby's Corner was special.......Patience is the key in these Classic races...

Good to see Jon Court in the Derby as well.....

Steve is the Astrology possibility a new development? Did Asmussen or ownership hint to this after the Jerome?

Ditto. I'd love to know as I have a pool 2 future wager exacta on Astrology/The Factor/all other 3 yo's (plus win bets on both).

I think you can safely toss those wagers at this point...

I'd love to see Animal Kingdom withdrawn. Shackleford is a horse I'd like to see make the cut-off, below him is nothing. I know it would make matters worse for The Factor(IF he goes), but Shack does deserve to be there, IMO

Stay Thirsty doesn't have a jock named - it looks more likely to be Borel than Dominguez

Borel is rumored on Stay Thirsty,MOH,or JP's Gusto. With Ramon Dominguez also as possible on ST and Gusto

The 3 "who knows" horses left are The Factor,JP's Gusto,and Animal Kingdom. Pretty much the rest of the field is set

Does sound like The Factor will be sent to the Derby tho especially since galloped today and will workout soon

The original thread said "tie-back for The Factor"

I moved it here because I'm trying to keep Derby stuff in one place.
