Jockey changes among elite riders make zero difference in major races

When you're betting and you get into a race like the Kentucky Derby or the Preakness, the jockeys involved are all so good and so competent that the difference between jockey A and jockey B, jockey B and jockey C is negligible... just ignore the rider and focus on the abilities of the horse.

This is a fundamental handicapping philosophy that can't be objectively proven 'right' or 'wrong' but is a professional stance.

Blake Bortles is a good fit for the Packers because they need a mobile quarterback

I think that this is a good landing spot for him. I think the Packers see the direction that the league's going in. You need a quarterback that can move. He's got the highest yards per carry of any quarterback in the NFL, I think, in the last five years.

Bortles signed but never actually played a regular-season snap for the Packers, being released shortly after.

Aaron Rodgers will be the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers Week 1

I think Aaron Rodgers is going to be the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers week one. I still do. We have our friend of the program, John Kuhn, acting as an intermediary to the public, saying that he thinks there's a way for them to come together, which essentially means the Green Bay Packers are going to pay Aaron Rodgers a shitload of money.

Aaron Rodgers did return to the Packers and started Week 1 of the 2021 season against the Saints.

The 49ers will finish the season 8-8-1 with their new quarterback

The 49ers, I feel like they're going to be new quarterback, probably 8-8-1 this year.

The 49ers finished the 2021 season 10-7.

The Triple Crown schedule must be adjusted as trainers will no longer run horses on two weeks' rest

The Preakness is a classic... but they think it is counterproductive to bring [Mystik Dan] back in just two weeks... It's gonna happen more and more frequently in the future until such time as the Triple Crown races become further apart on the calendar.

Discussions about extending the Triple Crown schedule are ongoing in the industry, but no official change has been made yet.

Clever Again is a strong play to beat the favorite Mystik Dan in the Preakness

There's another horse in the race called Clever Again, trained by Steve Asmussen... he's got speed. He's coming off a really strong race. He's had plenty of rest... I think to take a shot against [Mystik Dan] on the theory that [Mystik Dan] might not perform quite as well in the Preakness as he did in the Derby.

Seize the Grey won the 2024 Preakness. Clever Again did not win.

Fierceness is two to three lengths better than any other horse in the Kentucky Derby field

I think [Fierceness] is two to three lengths better than any other horse right now in the field... I think if he's ridden properly, I think [Fierceness]'s, you know, clearly, clearly the horse to beat.

Fierceness was the heavy favorite but finished 15th in the 2024 Kentucky Derby.
