That sister of Teddy Kennedy (the one the pops had lobotomized) could have ridden Bling better.

I think Gomez blows too many rides to win the ESPY. . . give it to Prado

Mabey your right but I watched the guys story during the breeders cup and even though it was a self induced problem, he has overcome the odds to become one of the best jockeys in the US.

Gomez has a huge lead in money won this year. Gomez is now up to $10.4 million in earnings this year. He has a $1.4 million lead over Victor Espinoza who is 2nd. Edgar Prado is 3rd with $8.7 million in earnings.
With regard to his ride on Too Much Bling, he had two choices. He could have been up there on the lead slugging it out head and head or he could take back and sit a length or so off the lead. He chose to sit just off the lead and he ended up being in tight all the way. I still don't know if he had the horse to win that day. It's hard to say.

prado gets my vote, no doubt.
tired of hearing about gomez being a hero for overcoming his demons--after all, they were self inflicted. i guess i'm a hero, i never started down that road to begin with.

Finally someone that reads the racing form. You should tutor scudsbrother he seems to think Gomez should of won on TMB by 20 except he isn't much of a trip handicaper he must not cash many tickets considering that was a short field in the woody stephans, wonder if he singled wait a while in the oaks.
