So at this point he's basically in 3rd place for the meet. It just seems like any other athlete that "plays" 12 months a year there are form cycles that come into play. Gomez did similar things at Belmont last meet where it seemed like he rode fairly vanilla for a couple weeks and I complained about it here as well.
Don't these guys have nagging injuries that make "great" just a shade above good which in this case is what we seem to be saying about JR.
It's almost like we should be asking for a weekly injury report for these guys ala the NFL ......now THAT would be a useful piece of information for handicapping wouldn't it now.
Maybe a new industry has been created (JOCKEY INJURY REPORTS)....
