As good a rider as Gomez is,he could still gain vast knowledge from watching the rides on this horse(inside chalk in these races.)In the July stakes,he broke from the 1 hole,and smartly came through the pack to cruise up into the lead at the top of the stretch.Yesterday,he dominated them from the front by clearing them early from the 1 hole. Do one or the other(the tweener stuff is nothing but trouble.)It's the hesitation that kills inside chalk.
