Forget about the horses, thats some line-up of riders, talk about murderers row....

I wonder who will ride Deadly Dealer assuming his 3rd place in the Arkansas will be enough to move forward to the Derby. I also assume Gomez would take Pletcher's mount over Assmussen's.

[SMOO]

Does anyone know Pletcher's record with Derby mounts? :confused:

[Ron]

0 for 10?

Prado, Smith, Elliott, Santos, Espinoza, Chavez

Good analogy John! Although I must admit even though Jara is a solid rider overall, his ride on Invasor in Florida will forever go down in my mind as the absolute worst ride of a stakes win that I have seen in my career...As for Gomez, another poster asked which horse he'll ride....Garrett knows where his bread is buttered-he's staying on AGS-Boomer

I want to know what happens if one of these horses gets injured or sick. This is a quite a group to choose from. Does he move anybody if one horse is out?

[Ron]

JV has ridden them all!

Six words for ya, Boomer: Florida Derby - Spectacular Bid - Ron Franklin.

I didn't realize Deadly Dealer was canned after his disappointing finish.

Pletcher also has a horse in this weekend's graded race at Keeneland. If the mighty steed is victorious, you have to think Pletcher will be tempted by the Derby.
