Gomez replaces Smith on Stardom Bound

[Danzig]

i don't think anyone is questioning going to gomez...but it is funny to most from what i can tell that they are still pointing stardom bound to a matchup vs arguably the best horse on a synthetic track.

Perhaps they were just looking for a somewhat diplomatic way to switch to Gomez, and that is the excuse they came up with. If, on the other hand, they actually do think she can beat Zenyatta, well then yeah, I'd say it is a bit of semi-delusional wishful thinking.

that's probably what it is. but i'd imagine everyone, smith included, knows it's really just that-an excuse. if you can get gomez, you get him.

and that horse is going backwards fast..

they evidently haven't paid any attention to her races this year if they think the blame falls on smith.

No raving about the Garrett Gomez ride
on Advice today. He rode the horse like he
he expected to win. From the
11 hole. Did not go wide on the
turn when he found an opening. Beautifully patient.

Where is the love for the jocks...
