And, PLEASE stop proclaiming the horse was ridden per Baffert's instructions. TMB was NOT taken back. TMB was NOT sent. TMB WAS RIDDEN LIKE SH1T INTO SURE DEFEAT.
He may not have been good enough. But the ride never gave him any chance to win.
Really pretty classless to keep thumping your tool on the table way after the race when you will not even acknowledge the possibility that the horse may have been poorly ridden.

I don't think he was ridden poorly, and do you think he was a GOOD bet at 6-5. I don't know many GOOD bets at 6-5, so I'll stand with it that he was a bad bet at 6-5. Thats a huge part of handicapping, identifying bad chalk, and this was bad chalk. Do you dispute the fact Baffert has made an attempt to get him to relax. So by sending you risk throwing all of that work away. I'm not proclaiming that I'm so great, just saying instead of deflecting the blame to Gomez, who came through a hole most wouldn't have tried to, maybe take responsibility that he was a bad bet at 6-5.
