Most of these riders have little choice and the real choice some make is " do I take a worthless mount just to be in the Derby or do I seek better opportunities out of town ". Leparoux rides at Churchill, so he doesn't want to sit in the room, though after the race he will probably feel differently.
I couldn't care less what horse which jockey is on. The only time I pay attention is when a jockey has a choice of a couple mounts. In this case I think Leparoux made a poor decision to go with Sedgefield over Zanjero. Neither has a shot to win but Zanjero is a much better shot of hitting the top five and cashing a check.
