Look Out, Quality Road

I agree that Ramon's ride in this year's Manhattan was in some ways better but Gomez did ride him well last time.

Look, I'm not Gomez's biggest fan, I think he's obviously very good but just haven't seen why some say he is the best, but I think you're a little unfair about his rides on Ventura. If she is as good as many say, her moves wouldn't need pinpoint timing. I think she's just not as good as many believe. A jockey shouldn't be required to make absolutely perfect moves, with a horse that is usually a heavy favorite, in order to win.
