The 2 situations are completely different, but I guess I'm wrong there too. Let me ask you this, with all of your knowledge, did you ever think that maybe Baffert instructed gomez to sit behind the pacesetter, because of the post, like Behaving Badly did today? It was racing luck, it happens everyday. Sometimes the hole doesn't open when you need it too.
