what a terrible ride on Bobandjohn in the belmont.

Did he really think he could win the belmont
on the lead for 10f. what an idiot ???

I don't know if Gomez thought that or not. But I read a Baffert post-race quote where he said that he thought Bob and John's best chance to win the Belmont was to try to steal it on the lead. After reading that, I have to assume that Gomez was just trying to follow the trainer's plan.

Oh you hit the grand slam?

Everyone thought you hit the pick four that paid over $900

no ididn't play the national pick4, i would have lost.

it seesm everyone that bets on this board is always looking for the 4 digit payout.
try to string together four 250 payouts, that works too.

if i had tried the national pick4, i would have had to string 6 in the 11th, too much, the grand slam was 20 and an easy win.

had i palyed it for all the money i would have used in the national pick 4, i would have made 300, not just 95.

Paul you can't blame Gomez for trying to steal the race. I thought it was a great attempt. With High Finanace the only other speed in the race and his qulaity very much at question in stakes company, making the lead was a bright attempt. Just wasn't the horses day. But I gotta give Gomez a lot of credit for trying. He was aggressive but the fractions were sensible. I can't blame him for trying.

i agree 100 oracle. bob and johns only hope was to get the lead and try to steal it. that horse had no business being in the race anyway. everyone knows he couldnt go the distance. the fractions were modest and gomez did what he had to do.

Baffert and Gomez were dufuses on Saturday. I was mad watching the entire race. WHY go back to a front running style when he had been doing something different in his last races? I was fuming mad the entire friggen race. I am mad at them still. They can go fly a kite for all I care. Maybe I will forgive them later, but right now, they are on my caca list.
