Since when is that a negative on the BEL turf (or elsewhere)?

[infield_line]

Gomez probably has the choice to ride whichever mount he thinks is most competitive, and wins with live horses on a pretty regular basis?? The 13 was game, with different post he's probably around at the end.

I would kind of doubt that. Cornelio blew the turn and still won for fun.

Gomez chosing to get on a horse would be as positive a sign, as chosing not to ride another one. The PP's on the 2 were far from an overlay on the field.

I was trying to complement Hooves on yet another nice effort since the 2 paid almost $40.....

In hindsight it's almost always competely logical

Hooves is a fine handicapper. No debating that point.

I've been following the 2. He has (less than 'obvious') excuses in both his previous races. Horses like Victorious Affair are why the game is both beatable and very very interesting.

I looked at the 2... and was influenced in the end to mistakenly to bet a horse that looked like cheap speed because Gomez took the mount (and in fact he lacked the class). That's why Hooves and you do better than I do, cause you looked past the simple decision...

ahhh... a very long education it is.......
