While there's no room for argument when debating the merits of Ramon Dominguez and Stewart Elliot. I can only think of threes point that Breen was thinking.
1. Look at the pp's and see the J/c Combo. While just about all those wins were in NJ, they have had success together.
2. He trusts the Stewart and know that he will honour is committment to ride in the Derby.
3. He had an agreement with Elliot to ride two horses and was not going to boot him.
The good thing about the Wood is the best horse won the race. I Want Revenge had to overcome a tough trip and regardless of the quality of this field, he ran a heck of a race.
