Which Jockey would you Choose...

If you had the odds on favorite in the Derby and for the triple crown.

I would have to go with John Velazquez with Mike Smith a close second.

Both have the reputation which makes owners and trainers seek them out.

Since we're dealing with a question in the future, the future Triple crown winning jock at Belmont Park is Irad Ortiz, Jr.

It should depend on the running style.

Need the lead type - Mike Smith, Paco Lopez

Mid-pack - A lot fit into this category...I'll just pick Javier Castellano?

Deep closer - Julien Leparoux, Jose Lezcano, Calvin Borel since it's Churchill

You would want the rider who has the most experience in that type of race. Turf riders are a rarity Paco is a solid turf rider so is Rosario. Castellano is ok also. Elvis is riding well out west and I like him on both surfaces. My go to rider would be Paco, he lets you know after the race what he feels about your horse and isn't afraid to tell you whether he will or won't ride your horse again.

Mike Smith rode horses for me when he was very early in his career. He is as honest as the day is long. And that's all I could ask of a jock in the big races is give me 100%. Of course it doesn't hurt he has a ton of talent.

Javier Castellano

If he's not the best, he's in the room.

He rides tactical favorites for a living, and he also knows how time a run from off the pace.

SRU and it's not even close...

Castellano or Rosario in that order. The Ortiz boys will get in that Derby/TC limelight soon.
