No doubt it was a good ride yesterday, but I still think it was more the benefit of a crappy ride by Jara who was stretching a filly from a 5 furlong debut to 6.5 furlongs and still felt the need to run the 1st quarter in :21.8 and the half in :45 flat. I think Jara clearly had enough horse where he could have let some of the inside speed take off and sit right off them and let them do all the work early....but what the heck do I know?

Kev,I like a fair track.That track is no such thing.The leader went fast,but lets face it here...they went 1:19 for 6 1/2f. I mean how tiring do you think that track was for that Monmouth filly to come pass nice fillies that easily for 2nd? Track is a joke.I ain't playing it.

Hope you guys enjoyed that win yesterday!! Blanked again today. I'm glad you guys worship the meets SIXTH LEADING RIDER SO MUCH!! Cough cough ahem, I said he would get schooled here, and how is it that such a wonderfully consistent rider can be sixth?

Who cares that he didn't win a race today? He only had three mounts today. He's still won more money in purses than any other rider in North America. Why do guys like Pletcher, Asmussen and Clement keep using him if he is so stupid?

Asmussen rarely uses him, and when does Clement use him? Maybe once in a while. He doesnt get near Shug's horses and he doesn't get near Mott's either. hasn't ridden a race for Dutrow up here either, hmmm, and he doesnt ride much for Asmussen . Like today, when Asmussen wanted to win a stakes race, he used PRADO!! LMFAO!!!!!
Umm lets see now(man you guys won't ever admit a damn thing). Try this misleading stat!!!
Saturday- Gomez is blanked
Sunday- Gomez is blanked
Monday- Gomez is blanked
Tuesday- day off
Wednesday- Gomez wins one.
Thusday- Gomez is blanked.

Geez guys that just great. Mr Inconsistency wins one race in 5 racing days and please don't tell me he hasn't been on live mounts. Hes in sixth place because he takes 5 day mental vacations in between riding well and winning races.

More importantly, why did Ron Anderson decide to take on his book? Anderson must be a moron as well. I guess the two he booked rides for before Gomez were real morons as well. Hold on...wait a second...

Didnt that moron anderson use to book rides for a couple of other dumb riders named Bailey and Stevens?

Simple, noone else as available. WHo the hell else was he gonna get? His rider retired, and everyone else was happy with their agent. I mean, is that rocket science?

Gander · #10 08-17-2006, 06:53 PM

Why is he riding Wait a While over Johnny V?

There are a bunch of guys he could have gotten...this is RON ANDERSON for crying out loud. This is the best agent in the game. Are you saying he couldnt have gotten Coa, bejarano, nakatani or a handful of other riders?

These guys are hysterical. First one of em(who I thought was better than this) decides to start a thread last week about garrett gomez being the leader rider. So apparently this person thought that stat meant something!!! Other wise why start the thread? Now its all different, now that he is in sixth after a very bad stretch "that stat is misleading". Honestly, you can't have it both ways guys. It either means something or it doesnt. Ok boys, if you think riding one winner in 5 racing days with those mounts is okie-dokie, your standards are quite low.

There are a TON of guys that were available to Ron Anderson. Thats my point. Why did ANDERSON choose GOMEZ?

stats are misleading. Prado is out front but Gomez is only TWO back of JV and Eibar who are tied for second and only one back of Cornelio V and Bejarano who are tied for third. He is fifth in terms of earnings. Man, that guy is really stinking it up!!!

If you call a guy winning at a 17% clip and finishing at 52% in the money "getting schooled" then I guess we all have a lot to learn. Please...school me on how that is "getting schooled".
