I think Gomez saw that he had no where to go because there was a horse right on front of him so instead of putting the blame on himself for driving up into a switch he checks the head off his horse and puts the blame on Victor.
Sounds like your quite fond of Garret. You guys hang out at clocker's corner?

He rode Real Quiet in the 99 Hollywood Gold Cup...Composure in a couple of Grade Is in 03, Flame Thrower, Rojo Toro etc..

Scat OUT
the monkey was the man , so was the ant man. i'd take either one over bailey in the last 30 years. i still remember when antley won 9 races in one day and he did not get chocolate bars like bailey got. he was great on the turf and brought in horses at a price. i'll never forget when he saved charismatic at the belmont finish. the horse would of won the triple crown if not for breaking his leg. they were saying he was washed up when he should of won the thing.

You do remember that Antley gave Charismatic a HORRENDOUS ride that day?

He was a terrific rider....but not in that race.

He also helped ruin Vindication.

I really think the 2 Puhich horses were in the race to try to get the chalk blocked, and sealed in. Both jocks look to have 1 thing on their mind. The 8 comes right over on top of LAL N' CARACORTADO (and Talamo drifts out a little about the same time.) Then, the other Puhich horse seals them inside. It's a very weird race, because I think some people had odd goals in the race. We've all seen Gomez get stuck inside on chalk. It's still his greatest weakness. This used to happen even more often with him.

Still the same way today.

yeah, he got caught up in the pace and wide. it seems like the pattern when the triple crown is on the line. santos gave lemon drop a perfect belmont like trip. it was not his best ride but many jockeys have had a case of nerves in that race. day in and day out he was the best though. charismatic was just one of many, many horses he rode that alot of handicappers would say did not have a chance until after the race. following east coast racing and mostly NY, i think he may of been the best rider in my lifetime so far.
