More duplicity on these boards, I can't tell you how many times I have read criticism of jockeys beating animals down the stretch when they have no chance...even Graham I read was criticised by one for whipping Sumwonlovesyou Wednesday. Now Gomez sits chilly on Wait A While without a chance to win and the opposite criticism takes a fever pitch. Simple answer...if you don't want to lose money...don't bet. Should Santos have been suspended for a year for pulling up the BC distaff favorite last year or are serious leg injuries good enough reason to not ride her hard??? Would jockeys avoid punishment for that?? Where do you draw the line?? After all, he didn't ride her hard after the injury and people bet enough money on her to make her the favorite. Should he be punished??

This thread is riduculous.
