I think if you go back to the mid 70s, and before, at Saratoga you would see some great colonies. Don't forget Pincay used to ride in Saratoga, as well as Shoemaker, along with the locals that included Cordero, Velasquez and Baeza. And, I'm guessing if you go farther back there were some great groups.

Not knocking the latest one, as obviously they were deep and, gulp, good....but I think a better assessment would be best overall group in 30 years.

I seen gomez fanicapping and he said they are headed back to cali on the 25th so why would prado's agent bother putting him on more claimers if the guy in 2nd place is leaving?

Because Belmont ends on October 22nd.
Gomez will ride here until then, which is a Sunday, then leave to go to Cali and start riding on the 25th which is their next racing day on a Wednesday. Any more questions?
