In addition, you will note his catch rides are most often for dead barns. the live ones go to Prado because they know he might ride the horse back, whereas Angel always has to tell everyone that he can ride back unles Todd runs something in there.
In terms of number of races won, Prado will always beat Johnny at any meet, not just this one.
And richi, you are insane if you think Gomez hasnt been riding chalk. Look at yesterday!! 4-5, 3-2, and 2-1 were his winners, so you are either a liar or unobservant.
Euro- Anderson is a better agent perhaps at securing stakes mounts, but in everyday competition Frieze is the King. Not known as a particularly warm and fuzzy guy, he always has the edge and thinks three steps ahead.
Of course Gomez rides some chalk. They all do. I'm not interested if he rode chalk yesterday. I'm interested in the median price of his horses for the meet. That's all that matters. It doesn't matter whether he rode chalk yesterday or over the weekend. I'm interested in how much chalk he rode for the meet out of his 144 mounts.
