This is all the result of the infatuation with the INSIDE check by all the PSEUDO trip handicappers. LaL is just not much horse and had no shot of beating SC, who went to his nose at the break, btw, which no one seems to have mentioned. Of course, as there was nothing in the race, the plug certainly should've been 2nd. I can't believe that some people actually want that (typically) opportunistic plug back in the Derby.
As for Gomez: he's ****ed up more races over the past year than just about any (major) jock not named Russell Baze or Patrick Husbands or Victor Espinoza.
