Do you think it cost him first or second?
Nice comeback for Pomeroy, huh?

Timmy,
Mike IMMEDIATELY was concerned at the break and barked "He stumbled..", but Lescano recovered him in the 2nd jump and he was on Joey P virtually immediately. Think in the end that it didn't matter a lick. He certainly wasn't holding off Nightmare Affair, and he simply cannot finish ahead of Pomeroy no matter where or when they meet.
The pair has met three times:
Amsterdam (G3) '04: Weigelia 3rd, 2L behind Pomeroy (Bwana Charlie wins)
King's Bishop (G1) '04: Weigelia 2nd 1.5L behind Pomeroy (wins)
Smile (G2) '06: Weigelia 3rd, 1L behind Pomeroy (Nightmare Affair wins)
Kind of bizarre...
Re: Pomeroy, I said Friday on the show and yesterday in the selections that Marty would absolutely not have Pomeroy in that race off that break if he wasn't ready to fire a big shot. Certainlly wasn't "prepping" for something else, right?
Expect them both at Toga next for another rematch, and hopefully Weig's finally turns the table... BTW, Weigelia/SwtNoSaint co-owner Ted Theos was holding a $200 Weigelia-Nightmare Affair exacta ticket... Likely a $50,000 winner if the two hook up.
