I'm not saying that he is a bad rider or overrated and I know it is alot of gogo threads but this was unreal. He gave an awesome ride in the 2nd I just don't get what was going through his head in the 1st.

In all fairness, Student Counsil should not have been the fav. But his ride on the 4 in the 2nd was a very good ride. Remember, you can win them all.

I didnt say anything about Student Council winning cause he was not the best horse in the 1st but at least put the horse in a position where he can win. Thats all I ask for of a rider.

No matter what position that horse was in, he couldnt win the race.

He belonged in a different race. That horse was completely over his head.

I didn't see the race but I did look at the charts. They were going really fast early on. If the turf course was playing normal, I would say that he was in the right position. But as you said, the turf course does appear to be favoring speed right now. Gomez had no way of knowing that because that was the first race of the day. The turf course may have also favored speed yesterday but you know how these tracks can change from day to day.
