Talamo at Clockers' Corner, Santa Anita, April 27, 2010.A crew from ESPN was out at Clockers' Corner Tuesday morning to interview jockey Joe Talamo before he headed to Churchill Downs to ride Santa Anita Derby winner Sidney's Candy in the 136th Kentucky Derby on Saturday, May 1.
Talamo spoke about the thrill he experienced last year when, at the tender age of 19, he made the trip to Louisville to ride in his first Kentucky Derby, only to experience the ultimate disappointment when his mount, I Want Revenge, the early favorite, was scratched before the race.

You are so right. One of the nicest hardest working jocks I've met in 30+ on the track. Good luck to him. I'll root for him even though I don't have him in my pools.
