Time for me to rethink my position.

dont re think anything you are correct and so am i.

gomez strangles to many horses, hard spun in the belmont is classic example... look what he went on to do after the belmont... being by danzig if gomez sends him i dont think curlin or the filly rags to riches would have cought him.

Upon further review - I now agree with the tactics used by Indian Blessing's camp today.

If anything - they didn't rate her hard enough.

Maybe if CC Lopez had ridden him he would have won? Being by Danzig, exacly how many 1 1/4 races did Hard Spun win let alone 1 1/2 races?

Funniest thing that hasn't been mentioned is that IB still ran as fast as Pyro.

I recall Beautiful Pleasure. Chavez aboard would let her open up like a rank 2 year old. The Go For Wand ( I think that race only had 4 runners), BP must have had a 30 length lead only to be collared by Heritage of Gold.

It's worth noting that Beautiful Pleasure also used that style to win a BC Distaff, a Beldame, two Personal Ensign's, a Hempstead, and a Shuvee. An Eclipse for champion older mare was in there too. The rewards outweighed the risks.

So true. Maybe Chop Chop as the pilot ?

But don't forget when Chavez rode her "like a rank 2 year old" to victory in the Personal Ensign (with a 5 length lead), the Beldame (with a 5 length lead), the Breeders' Cup Distaff (with a 3 length lead), the Hempstead (with a 7 length lead and the Personal Ensign again (with a 5 length lead).
