I'll take Gomez every time over anyone else. He'll blow one every few months, but he more than makes up for it with all of his great rides. He's one of the only guys that can move a horse way up.

Oh i'm in no way saying he's not talented. Results speak for themselves. But he's gotta know at that distance and coming out of the 3 hole (i think), that either he has to be up on the pace or outside. I think it he could have won today with a good trip.
