The Opportunities and Laurel

Lots of opportunity for the jockey colony at Laurel today. Top jockey Jeremy Rose is serving his five day suspension, and Rosie Napravnik will sit out again today due to a sore back. Trainers Scott Lake, Dale Capuano, and Richard Small have all had to go with second and third call riders. This opens up the door for many of the jockeys in the colony to shine. Throughout this meeting Rose and Napravnik had mounts in almost every race on every card. I hope that the local jocks take this opportunity to shine, and move up the jockey standings. The better the colony, the better the racing product for the fans.
