Smith gave a great ride today. Why the hell would they take him off ? I highly doubt that Wooley will go back to Borel if RA doesnt go in Belmont.

Smith rode a great race today. While he looked predictably disappointed, Woolley will be really pleased with what the gelding and Smith did today...

Gomez will likely end up on Dunkirk in the Belmont if Pletcher sticks to that plan.

He may already be committed to CC? Also, Madeo is scheduled to run in the Wittingham the same day.

the commitment being called on madeo is keeping him from worrying about the other commitment to choc. candy. the mosses did him a huge favor i think.

He split horses when he could, in fact it could be argued he should have stayed clear on the outside rather then save the extra ground.

Mike Smith gave a better ride today than Borel could have.

Today's race proved, once again, that horses win races and not riders.

For sure . The first 2 legs of the Triple Crown this year have been incredibly exciting and full of surprises . Horse racing at it's best I'd have to say .

Riders lose races on good horses though.

To add to that I would say horses win races, whereas riders lose races.
