what a terrible ride on Bobandjohn in the belmont.

Did he really think he could win the belmont
on the lead for 10f. what an idiot ???

I don't know if Gomez thought that or not. But I read a Baffert post-race quote where he said that he thought Bob and John's best chance to win the Belmont was to try to steal it on the lead. After reading that, I have to assume that Gomez was just trying to follow the trainer's plan.
