Rep Power: 6 Thanks: 29 Thanked 53 Times in 46 Posts  |  Question about a jockey???
Im all over a horse on Saturday at Keeneland. Been waiting for this horse to run since Saratoga closed. Shane Sellers has been named the jockey. I dont really follow that many tracks other than the ones in NY/Calf. My question is, Is Shane Sellers still a good jockey? I know years and years ago he was a top notch jockey but I havent really heard much of him since. Is he one of those over the hill jockeys who just work horses in the morning and hope to pick up a mount here or there? He does have 5 mounts tomm and only 2 on Saturday which include my horse. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Bad Knees and ankles, took alot of time off to rehab and then got two (2) urgings. Namely, missed the only people he knew, and missed the purse money he made in the 1990's. Has been working for Louisiana trainers but not getting the mounts he used to. I would have to be damned near in love with his mounts this weekend at Keeneland to use him, but he will most certainly offer a good price. Good Luck with your play. BTW, I will be at Keeneland this weekend and will atempt to update any info I can get on seller's' mounts.

Leparoux is the regular rider on this horse and usually for this trainer. But I have noticed that this trainer hasnt been using Leparoux on his horses since Saratoga. Maybe a little falling out? Im gonna go heavy on this horse regardless. Thanks

I suspect that one of the horses you like is the Ramsey colt, Nolansgrantkitten. He has been running against some good ones, including my colt, Forum. Has yet to fire at the finish line but has been competitive, and certainly has a chance to score in this race which I believe to be a substantial class drop. Good Luck!

Dead on! I played this horse the last 2 times he ran. The fact that Saratoga had a huge speed bias on the turf and dead closers like this horse didnt really stand to much of a chance. Didnt really like the jock change nor the minor change of surface to the poly but I think this horse has a huge shot come tomm at decent odds! | |
