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.

based upon the speed of the track today I would say that a 45 second half would not be out of line for that kind of race. Especially since she was doing it under no pressure. I would say she bounced off of a huge effort last time but Andy will get pissed off at me. I think Gomez rode overconfident on WaW but IMO there was almost no scenario that looked like it would play to her advantage in that field. What excuse did Hard Spun have? He was empty at the 1/2 mile pole. Better jockeys are insignifigant if the horse is in the wrong race.
