I think the result would have been the same if DrugS was riding the horse.

I thought All Expenses Paid got fouled when Ramon seemed hell bent on hip checking him into the fence as he tried to advance on the rail. IMO when I watched the replay he seemed to make a space available smaller. GoGo was not running against Grand Minstrel today but those were decent horses in the 8th today some at more of a advantage in form cycle than others.
As you probably saw today on another thread I thought Garcia was an upgrade that would be felt in the race which turned out correct. I still think that some jocks find ways to win races close in talent and some find ways MORE OFTEN to lose.....it's really not any deeper than that. You give me two essentially equal in ability horses and stick Freddie Fong on one and Gomez on the other and I'll take Gomez. I don't see what is so "perverse from reality" here.
