Pathetic for the horse/rider combo when you can't run down War Pass in a race like that. Clearly the target. You can forgive them if War Pass freaks on the lead. You can forgive them if any OTHER horse freaks for a big performance.
-It is unforgiveable to have War Pass run a sloppy-second, with a weak finish, and Court Vision comes gallupmfing up 1.25 lengths behind your MARK.
A better ride could have POSSIBLY had Court Vision more competitive in the Wood. Gomez was fashionably late to the party. Anybody's mother looking at the form could have said "you gotta expect Gomez to be a little closer to the pace than when he let it get away in the FOY..." but the adjustment didn't happen. However, that race was such a grade IV/Allowancen1x POS, that a "more competitive" possibility isn't a compliment in any way.
