Note to Garret Gomez

[Gander]

Okay it was a terrible ride. Way worse than the one yesterday which I dont think was bad at all.

Resound was pretty awesome today in that turf sprint. Wow, he passed the entire field in the stretch.

I can't go against Johnny V who has a free meal ticket to the top Prado Gomez tower over this guy if it was not for pletcher. Pletcher can take any guy from the bottom of any riding colony and still win at a 20% clip. Gomez rode for pletcher and won at a crazy %

Terrible? Just terrible? Resounds ride wasnt rocket science either. Horse was last behind a 43:4 half mile and closed, umm, hedidnt do anything wrong or brilliant, just an ok ride. You sit here railing on about poor criticized Gomez and the best you can say after watching the 5th replay is terrible? How about absolutely incredibly stupid and embarassing, and that would only begin to scratch the surface of how stupidly he rode that race.
He is just plain inconsistent.

Man it sounds like he is so stupid he can't win a race but yet he leads the nation in $ won. What does that say about all the other jockeys you bet on they must really be some talent if gomez is that dumb. If i thought they were that dumb i could never wager my hard earned money on them. SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOUR THE DUMB ONE! now you sit and critisize his ride from last to 1st and you say that wasn't rocket science and I agree, cause i could see the times as they were running. NOT AFTER THE RACE WAS OVER!

I never criticized his ride in that race you illiterate moron. Go back and read it again, I said it wasn't a brilliant ride, he just happened into it because his horse tripped out. Nothing wrong with that.

And I never said it was a brilliant ride. Go back and read my post Mike. I said Reound was awesome today and he was awesome. Thats a nice feather in Clement's cap and time for him to Giddy Up! This weekend he has a ole familiar guy running named Relaxed Gesture. Giddy Up!

[Gander]

Christophe "I Can So" Clement has to Giddy Up to beat English Channel. But a little birdie told me hes doing very well and ready for Saturday's showdown

That was a great ride by Gomez in that 7th race. He realized how fast they were going and he dropped way back. If Prado would have realized how fast they were going the other day in the Songster race, he could have dropped 4-5 lengths back and won the race.

Rupert you are usually sharp but that was about the single most ignorant thing you ever posted. he didn't "choose" to drop back. You obviously didn't have the DRF today or you would see that she has absolutely no sprint speed and was last early in a turf sprint the last time she was in one as well. That wasn't a choice. She couldnt go anywhere near those fractions if she tried. Are you trying to tell me he chose that course of action as if he actually had another option? Come on now, you are better than that.

You might be right. They were going very fast and that may have been the closest he could have been. But I have seen Gomez take horses much further back than they have ever been before if the pace is fast. He's not afraid to drop 15 lengths back if the pace is fast enough. Other riders might have tried to push that filly to try to keep her a little closer. Gomez was not asking the filly at all early on. In addition, he was smart to get her outside once they straightened away. Some of these guys would have tried to split horses and may not have made it through.
I've told you exactly what his style is. He tries to save ground around the turns and then he tries to swing outside at the top of the lane. That was your typical Gomez ride in the 7th race.
