I think you have to see how the race sets up before giving weight to which jockeys to use or which to toss . I like to stay open minded with most jocks ,I will use Davis or Luzzi if I feel I get good value on them ,hell if the situation warrants I'd use Clive Beech .I think trainers more critical because they know what their horses are up for and they know what level of jock can get it done for them .Some trainers are gamblers themselves and are trying to get value for their hard work .One example I have seen is when Mott has a horse that JD dosen't ride ,he'll use Day or Castellano or whomever you get good prices on these horses because the public thinks if JD's in the race and he's not on Mott's horse then the horse is a second stringer .Cordero used to say that he was the worst handicapper in the world .I would love to have insight to stable intent more than any info there is .By the way does anyone know what # Left Bank ran in the Whitney ?
