if he wants to prove he belongs in the derby field, i don't think finishing 1 or 2 is too much to ask...if he doesn't 'belong' in the bluegrass, then he certainly doesn't belong at churchill!

AGS can definitley handle keenland's surface, so I expect a big performance.
Still have no idea how Pletcher will handle the jockey mounts in the derby.
Gomez doesn't have a mount now that Ravel is out, so maybe he goes back to ride CQ in the derby, if Johnny is on Any Given Saturday?
Still not sure where Bejarano winds up, but he's ridden both CQ and AGS in the past.

Here what I think of Scat Daddy from a previous post (see comment #2)

http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/sho...light=Pletcher

"Scat Daddy - will become the "best overall" of this group by end of year"

Here's what I've got speculatively and based on upcoming assignments...

Any Given Saturday: Velasquez
Circular Quay: Gomez
Scat Daddy: Prado
King of the Roxy: Migliore
Cowtown Cat: DeCarlo
Sam P.: R. Dominguez
Deadly Dealer: A. Cordero (!)

Must be nice to have such tough decisions.
Some high profile trainers have no decisions that involve the Kentucky Derby.
Or maybe they have pretend decisions.

Jara is riding Cowtown Cat in the Illinois Derby. If he runs well there I'd think he'd retain the mount and Bejarano might end up on one of them as well.
