The size of the pool may mute the effect of the jockey cappers, given it's by far the largest of the year.

Remember when Pat Day's mount would open as the favorite in virtually every race at CD?

I do think they will end up being very similar odds at post time, however.

There were a few people at Ellis Park simulcast who I swore had Pat Day real dolls at home.

That began, however, when it was Pat Day against nobody basically. Whenever you see something like that, it is one dominant rider, like Krone or Bravo ( at one time ) in New Jersey or even Ramon this winter. You don't see that when there are a number of top riders.

Gomez is a fine rider, but so are many of these guys, and this whole thing is internet blather, and really not that big a deal. It is probably a money grab anyway.

As good as Gomez is how many points will he affect the odds when he hasn't even won a Derby yet?

What's with the poll?

Trying to score a Justindew VS Stonegossard battle that isn't about the economy is like trying to score a hair pulling - purse swinging - bout between two skinny chicks from the special olympics.

The poll options should be:

A) Stonegossard sucks worse
B) Justindew sucks worse
C) It's about a tie
D) Everyone can go fucl< themselves

Five horse fields aren't exactly my thing .... but I surely wouldn't have bet the winner at even money.

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful Peter ...

After all, That is actually Justindew's pic as my avatar and not mine.

What sickens me more than anything is that it's such an awful picture of me.

I want to put a pic of Freddy in my avatar. Do you have one you could send me ? I checked the police websites in his area , and suprsingly there wasn't a "wanted" picture of him anywhere.
