Eye of the Leopard will need a new jockey, as it was announced today that Calvin Borel will miss the beginning of the Oaklawn meet with an injury. You can read more here: http://www.drf.com/news/oaklawn-park-borel-fractures-wrist-fridays-meet-opener-nears
Endorsement and Win Willy are my picks in here. Both have experience going against solid company and I feel are
the best of the bunch. Skyring also has a big chance as well.
