I understand but pput him in a position where he belongs not 12 lengths off the pace.

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

I don't know about that his last race he made a very premature move and flattened out maybe your right though.

Thats my problem with go-go. He has given some of the best rides i have ever seen and some of the worst. All riders have good and bad races and days, but no one is as bipolar as gomez. Makes it very hard to bet him because you dont know who is going to show up. I

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.
