Tell you what Edward, I am looking for horses that will be under the radar so I can actually make some money. I'll let you keep your favorites and low pay outs. No worries from a "infield partier"

Where's your sense of adventure? =)

Wow, you rate Dublin's Southwest as "Okay" but then call Jackson's Bend a "Great Horse". I hope your dead money is in the pool on Derby Day. You sound like you have about as much handicapping savvy as a typical college aged, infield partier. Maybe you should stick to reporting on that angle.

I think Rob Dyrdek would be a great choice for CPO- he's hilarious and his horse episode was very entertaining. I remember during the telecast of the breeders cup last year when the camera was panning over the crowd in front of the betting windows you could see him standing in line. I don't know how much knowledge Shaun White has of racing, although it would be nice for him to attend.

Shaun White only seems like an OK pick for the CPO, but where's his connection to Horse Racing ???

Just for fun my choice would be...."Charlie Sheen".

After he gets out of Rehab that is.

On his show he's always got a Horse Racing Magazine or the DRF nearby. And rumor has it that he likes to Party.

I think your idea of going outside the traditional 'horse' group to pick a CPO is great and Shaun White - perfect! Now if only Hank Greenberg can be kept off TV.... I cringe every time I see him.

Thanks everyone for your feed back. I became confused mixing up Borel working Conveyance and Martin riding him in the race. I made the corrections and appreciate and apologize for that mix up.

Martin Garcia, not Borel, was aboard Conveyance in the Southwest. Borel’s mount was Dryfly. BTW, Rob Dyrdek would be perfect for CPO! Great idea!

Calvin Borel was on Dryfly...finished far back in the pack. Martin Garcia rode Conveyance. Where's Shaun White going to display his talent...no half pipes in Kentucky in May? Dippy idea.

Actually, Martin Garcia rode Conveyance. Calvin Borel worked Conveyance early in the week. But anyway, I agree with you about Rob Dyrdek. Throw in a little ramp for him and his entourage and it'll really be rollin'. If not him, the Jackass crew. The infield would be insane with the kind of antics they get themselves into.

Hold Me Back is my #1 Boy with Giant Oak close behind.

I have been a huge Giant's Causeway fan from his racing days, so you know how happy I am right now!

I think your CPO idea is right on target!
