Gomez

[justindew]

Not sure if this has been addressed. Apologies if it has.

Does anyone else think Gomez had Host and Octave way too far back today? I think Octave should have won, and Host may have won also.

In the interest of disclosure, I bet on both horses.

Also, I was surprised that A to the Croft was on the pace, although the addition of blinkers might have been a clue.

Gomez won 4 races on the day. It's tough to question his tactics

To be honest, I don't find it hard to question his tactics at all considering Octave was 5 legths clear of the winner 50 yards past the wire.

Octave is a hanger.

She's run 2nd in 7 of her 12 career starts coming into today....and it looked like she was upset that Ginger Punch and Hystericalady wouldn't seperate enough so that she can pass one without running the risk of accidentally winning.

Funny and true!

I find the Gomez bashing on here to be even funnier.

well, with bailey retired, someone had to step up and take the heat.

I don't really feel like I am bashing Gomez. I just think Octave should have won.

I don't hold too much stock in the gallop out. Sometimes it can't be ignored, but in this case, I don't see it that way.

you must have loved saarland.

I don't. I think they finished as well as they did precisely because he had them far back, meaning that i believe that with different riding tactics they wouldn't have done any better, maybe worse.
