Jockey Race
 

Kent D. with four winners today makes it 43-43 with the corn man.
Should be an interesting day tomorrow.

Interesting that last year, the west coast jockeys couldnt possibly compete in the tough New York jockey colony and now Kent D is going to finish at very worst a clear second after Gomez came close to winning it last year. Impressive.

I wonder if people on here still think either of those guys can't ride?

most importantly, if NYRA keeps the franchise, they are in a race to be a bobblehead!

Good point(s). I don't remember Gomez bashing to any significant extent, however, when Kent moved East, every BB I read -- yes, here too (LOL) -- had people bashing Kent big-time.

All the critics were saying he would be a mid-pack jock, a 10% jock, a face in the crowd, he was a has-been, couldn't cut it on the West coast any longer so he had to make a move, and so on and so on.

If Cornelio were still riding first call for Mott instead of Kent, he'd be 15 clear going into today. He's had an outstanding meet and I hope he gets the title. He deserves the hell out of it.

He sure does.

thanks Eric.

I remember more Gomez bashing on this particular site although i think most of the people who would bash him are no longer here.



Ateam-

To the point of Cornelio being 15 clear, remember, he is picking up many mounts from barns that were using kent as well. I think either guy deserves it. Both excellent, versatile riders.

How are you my friend. Long time no talk. You realize horse racing is year round right and not just during football season :)
