lets get back to Gomez' ride, although I'm sure you would rather not and already have seen it. Wanted no part of the pace huh? Funny that she stalked the pac in her debut when HE RODE HER!! and she rolled. Last time out at Calder she was trapped on a very dead rail and cut a wicked 1/4. The pace yesterday was moderate with a freerunning loose horse. he had perfect position and for no reason in a 6F race decided to stand up and wrangle her back, and then forced to go very wide. Why do you figure this mental midget decided that a horse with a tactical speed edge on the filed who had broken sharply and had assumed perfect position needed to do that? Get back to me when you have any idea, because I sure as hell don't. |

![]() Gomez gives many more good rides than bad rides, and is a top rider, but his ride on the Violette horse in yesterday's third was comical at best and suspect at worst. I would like to think the stewards called him infor that atrocity though I'm sure they didn't even notice.

![]() Gomez is extremely inconsistent. You never know what kind of ride you're going to get...
With that said, I hope he's in good form come Breeders Cup day because Drifty is my pick to win. ![]()

I see lots of dumb rides, but most by jocks not worth mentioning because you expect them to give their share of them. I'm not the only one who notices the vaporlock his brain experiences at times. You didn't hear me picking apart Happy Ticket and I explained why. This guy is real unique. Hes considered upper echelon and of the few guys in the upper echelon none comes close to occasionally giving mindboggling stupid rides like he does. Again, I'm not painting him out to be awful on a whole, but if you are still trying to deflect away from my point about that ride, and even worse attempting to defend it, than I would suggest that its you, not I, who is biased. Lots of sharp race watchers on this board, and i haven't spoken to anyone about that ride off the board. I'm willing to bet that anyone who chimes in about that ride who saw it, will paint it in a much more negative way than you have. It was an abomination. Its frustrating not ever knowing when hes gonna take a mental vacation. That ride was indeed just horrendous. And anyone who handicapped the race and saw the race will say the same thing. Criticizing certain rides, is not a total condemnation of a jockey as a whole. But hes definitely most prone to complete disasters that come out of nowhere. |

I haven't seen such a disgrace in a long time. And the stewards should definitely have a chat with him about his intentions. It was either a stiff or incredibly stupid, even beyond that. No way could anyone have done what he did ON PURPOSE without just being completely clueless, or very much with a clue. Ok Da Hoss? I'm not picking on him here, it was that bad and your failure tonote this tells me you are either president of his fan club or didnt actually see the race. It was embarssing to watch, it was THAT bad. |

I tend to agree with Mike on Gomez for the most part, although I don't normally rant about it to the extent that he does. ![]()

It was absolutely one of the dumbest rides(i'd like to think it was just dumb, not intentional) that you ever saw in your life. Last edited by oracle80 : 10-10-2006 at 12:42 PM. |

Watch this, you just have to. hes on the three, a horse who has won stalking the pace and who posesses more early speed than anyone in the race. Note him breaking to the lead, and then taking a hard hold for no reason, and then continuing to stand up in the saddle and keep wrangling her back until shes last, behind a 23:1 1/4 mile, and then being forced to go real wide and get beat a neck. Enjoy the comedy, tragedy if you bet or own or train her. Last edited by oracle80 : 10-10-2006 at 12:52 PM. |

![]() He has to be winning at like a .02% clip on favorites. It makes no sense at all.

The topic is not his riding in general which is good. Did you see the ride in question? Did you have the DRF so as to base your comments on the ride in an informed manner. Something tells me you haven't, hence the need for a general comment in response rather than addressing that specific ride. Link to the replay is posted above, please watch it and tell me what you see. having the pp's so you know about the horses in the race and their running style would help as well. I can email you those if need be. |
