It's laughable how people think jockeys picking their mounts make such a big deal. I must have heard a million times how Smarty Jones couldn't win the Derby because Stew Elliott was his jockey. Whatever. Some horrible riders have won huge races and good ones haven't. Hell, Gomez is a great rider, no doubt, how many triple crown races has he won?
That's right- ZERO.
In the case of Gomez' choices, either POTN is going to like the dirt and run well, top 3, or he isn't and he'll finish 12th, and Dunkirk is going to continue to move forward and run well, top 3, or he's going to melt down due to the lack of experience and he isn't. It's a guessing game for us and a guessing game for him. It doesn't matter in the end who he chooses.
