If I hadn't recorded over my Preakness coverage in a fit of the grumps, I'd go check but I swear, it seems like someone from his camp uttered the words...possibly Larry Jones referring to Mario's ride. Eh, it's a moot point to figure out how Pino could ride him any differently anyway. Let's see what GG can do. Out of curiosity, what would you say is Garrett's most obvious attribute? Some have serious clocks in their heads, some eat up strategy, others are rail huggers or outside run fanciers, some are endowed with the "special" knowledge that the horse is supposed to run in a counterclockwise direction... GG's nickname isn't Garrett "Likes to go around horses even if it's in the 10 path on the turn" Gomez or anything right?
