Russell Baze. His career is similiar to John Elway's. Both Kings of their sport without the Crown. Johnny got his. It's time for Russell.

Jeremy Rose because he came so close with Alex and he donates money to save horses from slaughterhouses. I believe that the whip incident was an accident. Even the horse's trainer said that it was. And what jockey would be dumb enough to do that?

Richard Migliore gets my vote, I have never seen anyone with more determination. He is the best horseman I have ever seen.

I think Russell Baze deserves the utmost!! One of the greatest!! Robby comes next-brillant. If Johnny V would change trainers, I could seriously give him a shot too.

Looks like Animal Planet is running a show called JOCKEYS and will feature Solis, M Smith, and some others who participated in the Oak Tree Meet. You can e-mail Smith directly and ask him how it felt to win 9 in a row on Zenyatta. A whole season undefeated. Something neither Big Brown, Curlin, or the New England Patriots could do.

SOLIS...This guy has placed 3 out of 4 times in the Kentucy Derby, has won the Preakness, and has showed 3 times in the Belmont (that I can count). He's due.

I would like to see Edgar Prado. no reason.

Definitely Edgar Prado is my choice. He exhibits ultimate caring for the horses he rides, and was so in tune with Barbaro, he stopped Barbaro rather than let him race on... He's the best.

everyone of those jockeys are deserving, an i hope they all do it before the end of there career.My vote has to go to Richard Migliore, I think he deserves it more sooner than later

Richard Migliore without a doubt. Hall of Fame career, but needs one of those classics under his belt for the rest of the higher powers that be to realize he belongs to the elite club of riders. Best horseman to ever break from the gate. Bar none.

Garrett Gomez, it will add a nice touch to his Hall of Fame plaque.

Footprint: Your handle is the same as the horse who was 2007 Horse of the Year in Alberta, he won the Canadian Derby among others. If it's the same Eddie Martin Jr., I met him and his dad and brother years ago at Canterbury Downs the first year it opened. Very nice family and gentlemen.I have a win picture dated 7/10/85, Secret Discovery with Eddie Martin up. Marcel Crowe Trainer. Is it the same guy I wonder?

I would love to see either Albarado or Bejarano win. I just love the way they ride.

Johnny V - he's won evrything else why not the derby!

Migs! Migs! Migs! And next year I want him to win The Oaks on my filly!

Yes, big Migs fan, but because I have heard so many good things about him from young riders that leave here and end up in the Jock's room with him. They all talk about how he was kind to them and helped them to not make the same mistake twice. He is also a fine tactical rider and it would be a thrill to see him win the Derby after his win at the Breeder's Cup. Go Migs! If I had the horse, you'd be up!

I would like anyone on this list to win their first derby!! But if i had to pick one it has to be Jersey Joe Bravo.... maybe b/c i'm a monmouth regular and waiting for 5/9....

I'd love to see Russell Baze or David Flores win. Both are hard working jocks and are humble with the fans.

I wanna see Frankie Dettori win his first Derby. Last year he had by far the best 3 yr old in the world in Raven's Pass. Had he run in the states we would have finally had another Triple Crown Winner. Let's face it there wasn't any 3 yr old who could have held a candle to Raven's Pass. The Derby deserved better than to suffer the fate it did last year when it fielded the weakest bunch of 3 yr olds to go to post in years and one of the weakest in history.

After Russell Baze, I would like to see Eddie Martin, Jr. win it. He's terribly underrated and also a very down to earth guy.

re: Which Jockey Would You Like to See Win Their First Derby?

Footprint — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 18:49:34 GMT

Russell Baze. Not only has he won more races than anyone else, he is also a class act from start to finish.

DONNA — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 18:28:00 GMT

Grabriel Saez because for my favorite trainer to win it this year, Larry Jones, Gab is his rider and they both deserve a win this year after the Eight Belles tragidy last May.

to me it should be julian for the great rides he gave FOREVER TOGETHER allowing her to become the champion we knew she was.

how about Robert Skelly,one of the harder working unknown riders.
