I disagree here. Yes, i think Gomez rode a nice race but at the end of the day CV had every chance to win and simply couldnt get past the winner. Game effort by Court Vision indeed but in watching the race yesterday and again this morning, Gio Ponte was simply the better horse.

On another note, Sailors cap didnt come to play yesterday. Was it the firm turf or bounce? I guess time will tell.
