Race 5 #4 Royalty Prospector stumbled after the start and lost the rider in his last race, but actually "won" the race in pretty good time for the level. Obviously he picks up 118 pounds today (also known as a jockey), and who knows how many lengths that's worth, but he's 20/1 on the ML and should be good value Saturday.
You'd think that racing without a rider would be a huge advantage, but I'd guess that only 5% or less of the horses I've seen over the years who've lost their riders end up first under the wire.
