Papa Clem beat an injured horse who was not gonna get the distance at OP, and behind that a bunch of real bad horses.
In my opinion Gomez chose a horse who is unproven on dirt and will be a question mark getting the distance. That's where I believe he made the mistake.
Hey, I hope the betting public hammers POTN,IWR, and Papa Clem. That way I will get a good price on Dunkirk.

None of this changes the fact that Dunkirk has not come close to beating a better field of horses than Pioneer has. The one horse of quality that he faced, he lost to. The horses behind him that day and in his first two wins weren't better than what Pioneer has faced. Now, if you wanted to compare what Pioneer has defeated to what Quality Road has defeated, your argument would have more relevance. But to compare it to what Dunkirk has beaten is kinda....no, very.....stupid.
