He didn't get the jump today like he did in the Woodford Reserve and JV looks like he is still a little tender. He can't raise his hand above his shoulders to whip the horse, I remember the last guy that came back too soon and was on top of the world before he got hurt, MIKE SMITH. When gomez rode EC it looked like the horse really knew was incharge and gave him 110% today it looked like JV was just trying to point him in the right direction, and kindly urge him. I think JV is probally the best jock in the US when he is 100% but 80% is not gonna fly aginst Prado, Castallano, Gomez, and Solis. If he was truly 100% he would of rode Adieu in the filly race. Unless Cordero had been working her in the morning and he knew she wasn't ready.
