Actually no - I liked GP slightly more than Sailor's Cap but bet the 9. . .

from the print edition of bloodhorse, july 5: 'dutrow was mildly confident in Frost Giant, but felt he had little or no chance of beating Rising Moon, whom the trainer wagered on.' he also said he thought the horse was good, but that he couldn't explain some of the horses poor performances in the past. that he felt the horse was responding to his training, and that he might as well take a shot. that 'if he's ever going to do it, it's got to be today, because he's been going unbelievably lately.' he also said about the race running that he had given up on both his horses, and then watched in disbelief as frost giant came back. 'i forgot all about him. i was looking at the other horse (rising moon).' and he didn't have a wager on either of his runners in the race. |

Go Go vs. Desormeaux say it aint so.....
""I cussed him," Gomez said after the winner's circle ceremony. "I was like, 'What are you doing?' He tried to push his way out and find the lane, and he wasn't going to push his way past me and my horse. He was acting like I had no horse. I was like, 'Where are you going?' "
"I thought I had enough to extricate myself," said a bitter Desormeaux after the race, his face soaked in sweat. "I might have gotten manhandled by that horse. After that, [Court Vision] took aim at the leader. I think I actually got my nose in front 50 yards from the finish." Asked if that were true, Gomez y said, "No." " http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...071901611.html -bt- |

He says that Court Vision had back class. Check. He, along with Sailors cap and Gio Ponte, were the only graded stake winners in the field. Looks like back class to me. He says that Court Vision MIGHT have won it with a better trip. He got trapped behind horses on the turn and lost in a photo. Yeah, I say he is right there as well although i think Gio outgamed him. He was second off the layoff and first time trying firm turf. I dont think the connections thing is a bad thought either. **** the IEAH thing...its not like we are talking about the Aga Khan or Godolphin here. But we are talking about Mott. Mott isnt one to keep knocking his head against the wall placing horses where they dont belong. He brings his first call rider (desormeaux) in to boot. Obviously Mott sees talent here or else he wouldnt keep placing him in these races and the 10-1 morning line was too good to be true come post time. Betting connections blindly is a fools road to poverty but i dont think eajinabi ever said that. He just said that that was a part of his thinking...and obviously he was correct. |

Court Vision might have won with a better trip?
He is 5000-1 to ever get a better trip in his lifetime.

I credit GP's win on Gomez. Magnificent race riding on his part. Still Courts Vision was very game in defeat.

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

Besides, I don't think you realize how many people have an investment in Court Vision. If you think that Mott is in the position to just drop him into a listed stake if he feels like it, you're very mistaken. |

Bred by Kilboy Estate in Kentucky, Gio Ponti is out of the stakes-placed Chipeta Springs (Alydar) and is a half-brother to Fisher Pond (A.P. Indy), winner of the 2002 Lawrence Realization H. Chipeta Springs has also produced a juvenile filly named Bon Jovi Girl, who was runner-up in her debut at Delaware Park on July 12, and a yearling colt, both by Malibu Moon. Gio Ponti's second dam is Argentinean Group 1 queen Salt Spring (Arg) (Salt Marsh). This is the family of Grade 1 victor Mongoose (Broad Brush), Grade 3 scorers Hesanoldsalt (Broad Brush) and Puxa Saco (Dehere), and further back, two-time Horse of the Year Cigar (Palace Music). I reprinted this brisnet. Remember, stamina can come from both sides of the pedigree and obviously his Dam had something to do with his ability to get 10f. So...just admit when you are wrong because it makes you look even more foolish. |
