I just find it interesting how everyone piles on guys like Johnny McKee (Lawyer Ron) and Mario Pino (Hard Spun) when they go too fast or too early on big-time horses, but Gomez gets a pass because there was "nothing he could do."

I am with you Joe. While I didn't play Wait a While (I played Take the Ribbon) that ride was moranic. Lets let a gritty horse go 50 and try and catch. Who gives a **** if your horse isn't a speed horse, if they go 50, he should have been right next to her, not 1.5 back.

Hard Spun, I agree with everyone else, not getting 12....Dream Rush, I just don't know. I think alot of it might have to do with the training job, and while I am no expert, I have seen guys try to dull speed in the morning when stretching out, and it didn't seem like DR speed was dulled at all.

You know, I just don't know, i was on tilt and was just firing but all I really remember was Wait A while throwing her head like she was having a fit......
