My position on Gomez has always been the same, and continues to be now. Incredibly strong and agile and incredibly stupid on a horse very often. Does not "handicap" the rest of the fields he rides agaisnt and is pathetically unaware and out of sync with prevailing biases much of the time.
Rupert you keep knocking Prados strength down the lane and seem amazed that he is a leading rider. Strength and talent alone won't win races, you need a brain.

I don't think Prado is nearly as atheltic as many of the other top riders but he's obviously a good rider. He also seems to be pretty cool under presssure in the big races and that is obviously very important.
Where do you rank Gomez overall back East. It sounds like you would take JV or Prado over him. Do you think that Gomez is the 3rd best rider back there overall?
