"We all achieve mistakes, and I've done absolutely able-bodied at Churchill, obviously,'' Lanerie said. "If I hadn't been arch addition actuality 10 times, I'm abiding I wouldn't be on the horse. But I've done absolutely able-bodied here.''
Amoss said: "It's a huge advantage. You know, bodies are like, 'Are you activity to acquaint him not to go to the inside?' I'm not activity to acquaint him anything. Corey knows how to ride a horse. I watched him win on the abuse yesterday. If that's area he chooses to go, he thinks it's the best move.''
Lanerie, who will be benumbed in the Derby for the additional time, accomplished 16th on Harry's Holiday in 2014. Mo Tom is a abundant altered animal, Lanerie said.
"I alone rode the Derby once, so it's accessible to say it's my best chance, but I absolutely anticipate he has a absolute acceptable chance,'' he said. "In my mind, he's one of the favorites.
