Perhaps he waited a bit too long before he ran at the other filly but I have my doubts that she is better than her at that distance anyway. Dream Rush had no excuse, Cotton Blossom ran huge. Hard Spun had no excuse.
I didn't bet Wait a While at that price. And his other choice was to let her run and not snuggle her into My Typhoon's asscrack expecting her to backtrack after running :25 and :50. Dream Rush didn't have an excuse after going :22, :45 and 1:09? I'll keep that in mind next time any horse folds after running scorching fractions like those.. "No excuse".. Cotton Blossom plodded past a tired horse. If one of your horses ever gets a trip like Hard Spun did, I'd like to hear you say that the horse had no excuse. Not saying it was all Gomez' fault, but he was supposed to be an improvement over Pino, and he was just as bad if not worse.
