Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 26 Journalists Posted April 26 Umberto Rispoli, the second-leading rider at the Hollywood Meet at Santa Anita, is off all his Saturday mounts due to being at Churchill Downs for his mount's final pre-Derby work, 1S/T Racing announced Saturday afternoon. Rispoli flew in to Churchill Downs overnight to partner with likely Kentucky Derby favorite GISW Journalism (Curlin) in his final pre-Derby work, but those plans were scrubbed when the work was postponed to Sunday due to the rain. The jockey was named on six rides for the Saturday card, including on 'TDN Rising Star' Eagles Flight (Curlin), the half-brother to MGISW Flightline (Tapit), for John Sadler and GSW Tirupati (Mitole) in the GIII Royal Heroine Stakes for trainer Jonathan Thomas. Juan Hernandez has been named as his replacement on the former with a rider change pending for the latter.
