People still think the same thing Rup, talented and dumb. Does so many dumb things and so many great things that he is exasperating. He's also been doing something strange in the lane lately, horses are bearing in on him like crazy and its cost him a couple of wins and almost cost him one on Meribel the other day. He blew a stakes race the other day for 2YO's on grass because of the bearing in he was doing. I've never seen anything like it. WHy do so many horses he rides bear in? Its very strange.

I wish he could have kept that 2 year old(Admiral Bird) straight. That nose cost me $2,000. It's not his fault if a horse is trying to lug in. It would be his fault if the horse came in so bad that he fouled someone and got taken down like Jamie spencer in the Arlington Million back in 2004. When a horse is blowing by everyone on the far outside, they often lug in. The jock just has to make sure that he doesn't bother any of the other horses. Gomez does a pretty good job of making sure he doesn't foul anyone when his horses are lugging in.
