Un****ingbelievable.

That's all.

81 career top Beyer, not competitive at SUNLAND, and romps in the Derby?!

They need to change his Wet Track Tomlinson to about 60,000, because there's no other way in hell that makes any sense whatsoever.

I guess Gomez has carte blance in Kentucky too. Cause it sure looked like he lugged out in the end squeezing Papa Clem and Musket Man. But it Gomez, so I guess it's ok!

He was so focused on the 3 battling in the middle of the track he never knew. Hell, even after he saw him, he stumbled trying to recognize who it was!!

I thought he was shocked because he seemed to have paused to think of who it was and kind of laughed once he realized who it was.

Can't blame him... I don't think anybody knew who the phuck that was. He looked beyond impossible. I know that Durkin handicaps the race before so he knows what to look for, he probably looked at him and said forget this one and move on like the rest of him.

Funny thing is I thought he was a decent longshot in the BCJ.

Totally, Not only did he miss him. He couldn't even figure out who it was when he finally spotted him.

Give Borel all the credit. He believes in saving ground which is a foreign concept to 90% of these jocks.

at the 3/8ths when he started running but the rest of the field was tied to a hitching post, how did the rail cause that?

The horse will never win again, unless by some miracle he catches a field that did not run to their form on a slop track, if thats the case I like him.

Rail bias or not that bunch is going to turn out to be turd-o-riffic to get bent over like that.

I agree with you dahoss, but you are going to hear all week it was the rail, but he was easily the best and the rail only just exacerbated that, i guess cause of the slop more then anything else.

How many times have I noted that this jock repeatedly does that(and gets away with it.)
