I just made a huge bet on Lady Elaine in the 9th race. That may have been the worst decision by a rider I have seen in my entire life.

"Noberto we'll all be here again tomorrow and Ramon has had a bitch of a day losing on 3 horses less than even money. Why don't you lay back and make your run when second is the best you can do....."

It's a perfect example of why Dominguez wins.....he wins because he's smart and many aren't. There is zero question the 2 would have won the race if Fragoso stayed inside. Zero. What rider would swing out like that? Hell, he got her into the four path on the backstretch. Who would do something like that? It was mind boggling.
