I have had some spirited exchanges on this board about jockeys. I like Culinary in the Juvenile Fillies -- ridden by Carlos Marquez, Jr. I have been following Chicago for the past few months and this guy is seriously underrated, and he is GREAT on the grass. I'm rooting for him to break through a little on the national stage.

Otherwise, from a jockey's perspective, the Filly and Mare Turf gives me a chance to get a big price with Johnny V. Glowing reports from Texas on Bailey's horse too. HP
