Will also ride Executiveprivilege in the Hollywood Starlet. They were both ridden by Rafael Bejarano.

Both horses are tossed IMHO. Horses making their first start after the BC are poor bets and with many coming off career tops, the likelihood of a bounce is much more probable.

RB is a crazy ........, leave it at that, i just question many of his rides? You can't let the jockeys run the asylum, remember Bobby Frankel, being really PO at the jocks, Baffert knows a lot more about what horses should run huge than the public, think i side with Bob, RB seems to throw clunkers in some races, i question his integrity, motive, it smells a foul odour.

These fans are the forum who rate Bejarano in the top echelon of riders here on the forum haven't been watching him
day in and day out as I have been. He's just horrible! It's as simple as that. There was a reason that Joel Rosario kept
kicking his arse out here meeting after meeting. Dominguez, Velasquez, Rosario, Castellano, Gomez and others are
more talented and have better game plans in place to win races than Bejarano. It appears Bejarano doesn't have any kind
of trip planned ahead of time and hesitates too often during the race for my taste.

Anyone who saw the BC Classic knew GoD was spent around the far turn, bias or not he was not going to win and will be a major play against in the Big Cap if they go that route.

I can most certainly tell that to the 2 BC participants that BOTH finished out of the money in the Delta Jackpot last Saturday (including BC Juvy Sprint winner Hightail) and Gantry (who was defeated in the feature race on opening day at Fair Grounds).

Historically, the list goes on and on.........and on.
