  • arazi · Cigar, I agree. Nice to win a Derby prep, but you don't teach your horse much that way. And I think this horse has a few things to figure out. And Torres is a better rider than that. Didn't turn out so well for Desormeaux and Piscitelli. Dare we say, a rider change has been announced on Piscitelli? · 855 days ago ·

The Gaudi...Read More
