Botched Abortion
 

The ride on TM BLING TODAY.

Watch out, SCUDS is FIESTY today

Well,I can deal with a bad ride,but I am tired of people actng like he doesn't botch rides.He botched this horribly,and he botched about 20 of them at the Anita meet.

What the hell is wrong with Gomez? I have never seen a rider that has so much athletic ability and yet is so lacking in the head. I am afraid that after today I may be going over to the dark side and finding myself in agreement with Oracle on this jock. LOL! :)

Leg 1: 7
Leg 2: 2
Leg 3: 1
Leg 4: 6,7
Leg 5: 4
Leg 6: 8

Cost me 2 pick 5 winners.Just spent a lousy $4,and so it ain't a huge deal,but I should have got it.

he got schooled today for sure.

god damn shame d glitters didn't do well. edgar did very well today.

oh, and gomez is talking about staying east since he's done so well. saw that headline earlier. he's gonna go to school a lot if he does that.

Yea Songster is a ****** horse, 1 post in a sprint race is the worst. You are commited to go from the word go. I read in the DRF that Baffert didn't wan't to run him after they drew. Now we can look forword to a rematch considering they are now 1-1. I will take which ever one draws outside. That was not gomez's best ride by no means.

oh SO thats how it feels to be on the other side of on of his boptched ignorant rides. Seems like usually I'm the one getting burned.
Played Songster and Bling in equal strength in the pik-s and obviouslt wanted songster due to the larger price. Watched with total glee and joy as the junkie gave a moronic ride, allowing Songster to win. I loved it!!!!
But yeah, Gomez posesses strength and agility that few riders will ever know of. But just like in the wizard of oz "If I only had a brain". The funny part was that the guy who racerode him into the ground is an old journeyman from Philly park (Harry Vega) !!! Gomez got schooled quite a few times lately. Like I said guys, you wana try and ride that yellow brick rode all the time in NY, you are gonna have to get lucky because in NY they aren't gonna let you out.

Scuds, that ride may forever rank as one of the stupidest rides I ever saw. helped me out so I thank him!!!!! I finally cash on a stupid Gomez ride instead of ripping up tickets and full of rage. It was about time. But if you keyed Bling, I truly feel for you.

Well Oracle ,lets see here about the damage the ride did me yesterday.We will start with this little cheap pick 6 play.I DIDN'T PUT MORE THAN $4 in it because I put my money on the 7 horse (Anew) to win the 1st leg(quite possibly because I knew I would get a ride like Gomez gave me,and get nothing for picking Anew.)So,obviously I lost 2 pick fives there(thank you Gomez.)That's probably a total of $200(hopefully less.)

Leg 1: 7
Leg 2: 2
Leg 3: 1
Leg 4: 6,7
Leg 5: 4
Leg 6: 8

Then,I figured those 3 year old fillies are about as reliable as a male dog piss'n where you would prefer him to.So,I take TMB/ALL/CACIQUE/JAZIL in a pick 4 wheel.

Leg 1: 1
Leg 2: 1,2,3,4,5,8,9
Leg 3: 4
Leg 4: 8

The pick 4(with Songster)paid $935/1 for the 5/2 horse in the 1st leg.You tell me what it would have paid with Bling in the 1st leg...minimum $400/1 ?...This ride cost me a minimum of $600,and probably more like $750.I am a bet small/win big individual.So,when you are correct about 4 singles,you would like to do some good damage,but this guy screwed me with that ride on Bling.Can you imagine how blow torch hot I would be if one of my 2 horses in the pick 6 had taken the 3 YEAR OLD FILLY RACE THAT FOLLOWED? How much are we talkin' about for him costing me the p6? This I can forget,but if he had cost me a pick 6,I would never have forgiven him.

You know WHAT? I just watched the replay of the Belmont pre-race show.Not only did the incident before the Acorn kill the chances of the 2 horses who had to scratch,but if you look at the incident from in front of the gate(from the camera in the infield,)you will see that Teammate was quite shook up by Miraculous Miss going nuts.She looked right over and stared at the whole incident.She didn't break through the gate,but she made a couple false start lunges .Surely she was not herself after that.Like you said,it was a pretty slow finish,and you would have to think we would have a different result(and a faster race time)if this unfortunate incident didn't happen.A game of luck,and chance(indeed.)

I was f'ing all over Miraculous Miss, had her singled in the Pick 6 (I was 3-for-3 up until that point), then she flips out and they give me that f'ing slow as molasses El Corredor pig by default. I f'ing HATED that horse. I said on this board and at the track, why the eff isn't Velazquez riding her if she's ready to win this?

They gotta let you have alternates in the Pick 6. I probably still would've lost, considering I didn't have Bushfire as my second choice, but it's the principle of it. I hated Adieu in that race and I still wound up with her as my Pick 6 single.

On top of that, I played a pick 4 with my boy and each of us picked one horse in the Acorn. I had MM and he picked Adieu. I wasn't gonna argue. But thanks to that scratch, we had that crawler for a deuce.

F'ing day went downhill from there and it officially got killed when Glitters flipped his palate and didn't cross the finish line until Sunday morning.

Garret Gomez is a great rider. The one hole at belmont going that distance is extremely difficult on an animal. You either have to gun the horse up and risk burning him out or you have to wait and stalk. If you wait and stalk, as evidenced, you can get stuck behind horses.

In that race, not much a jockey can do.

He is really cute though.

Well,it is not an ideal post for the horse,but that doesn't totally excuse the ride.I have seen this all before from him.This horse has won on the lead,and by making a big middle move on the turn.He chose neither option.What did he choose to do? Well,he must be Catholic,because he seems to enjoy putting a horse in purgatory,and then expects the horse to simply show the run he normally does,but each time he has done this,the animal he is on has lost interest.Quite simply the horse is taken out of their routine,and really have no clue what the hell to do.He keeps the horse in a bad spot,and seems to think the horse will go through holes that are made rather small by the other jocks.This will continue to happen,because nobody chews his ass out for doing it.

gomez is not what he used to be, see Gomez ????? thread,

the questioni have, and its a tough one,

is he playing with substances again ????

Don't you sleep, it is 6:45am there in Cali?

8,and 4...8 hours one night,and 4 hours the next.I feel best from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.,and would not mind at all living in those odd places that get very little sunlight each day.I have very light colored green eyes,and am probably a lot more sensitive to natural lite than the great majority of people.I am not lite skinned like an Albino,but just very sensitive to natural lite(visually speaking.)

That is interesting Scuds, especially because you live in a place like Cali where it is sunny 300 days a year....

Scuds he has a riding style that has served him quite well. Hes daring, and noone is ever gonna question his bravery. Guy loves to ride in tight and dive for a hole at a moments notice. When it works out, the praise of the greatest rider blah blah blah is all over the place. Thing is hes not riding 12-1 shots anymore. Hes riding horses with a good chance in every race. I told you, in NY riders ride other guys horses as well as their own. Prado knew he had him in jail, and he wasn't letting him out.
Hes gotta chill out a little and realize that he desont always have to make things happen anymore, sometimes you can just stay clear and out of trouble on the kind he is riding these days and they will get you to the winners circle.

I could care less what he looks like... he was botching rides all weekend.
