Where to start?
Jockey choices...I did read that Gomez's agent said that Garrett would be riding Bob and John in the Derby. Which leads me to where I really want to start...Bob and John.
Bob and John is a May foal and he most certainly has been a little green. He is however blossoming. He's a spring Tulip reaching for the sun and come the First Saturday in May, he may be in full bloom.
Which brings us back to Garrett Gomez. Maybe by the First Saturday in May Bob and John will develop even further and eclipse where Sinister Minister was last Saturday. Regardless of that I can't find any reason to discount what Sinister Minister did on the track that day.
Now to Bob Baffert. Bob said that Sinister Minister was going to Kentucky quote "As soon as he gets up...he laid it all on the line in the Blue Grass". Unquote. (Note that is a fairly accurate paraphrase.) What do you all think about that? Was Baffert just shooting from the hip regarding the reality of what occurred on Saturday? Or does anyone think that just perhaps there may have been a little more to what he said?
The fastest horse will certainly win the Derby, but to cash do you believe you sometimes have to think your way back to the window?
