Its not like he was on Bernardini. This was a baby race and perhaps the animal was being quirky. But the worst ride ever?
You post the link of a seemingly bad ride but what about the good rides?
No one is playing devil's advocate. I am making a point that YOU were WRONG about Gomez from the start and you have yet to admit.
Tell the truth...DID YOU NOT SAY HE WOULD GET "SCHOOLED" at Saratoga? That didnt happen did it?
So now, every time he has a bad ride, we get a post about it as if you are going to subliminally convince everyone that you were right in the first place.
WHO IS THE NUMBER ONE RIDER IN AMERICA RIGHT NOW? Just answer that.

The number one rider is Edgar Prado according to the Bloodhorse. Its a fact. Hes earned more money on American soil than anyone.
Dubai earnings were not counted in Johnny V's failed attempt at Bailey's record a few years ago. They only used American races.
using Dubai races means our top money earner is Electrocutionist(RIP) and i think thats irrational since he never competed here, don't you?

By the way I'm friendly with Violette since this past Saratoga when I clocked two of his horses in a set one morning in the slop when he worked them late and the clockers didn't catch them, I told him it was the best move i saw all morning in that slop. One came back and won, the other came back 2nd in a stakes race. I was down there two weeks ago and laughed about that in the paddock with him. Hes a tremendously nice guy and very classy. I'm going down a week from Saturday and I will ask him about that race and ride. WIll you accept that as proof of a complete abortion if he says it was?
I highly doubt he asked his jockey to strangle a horse back to last behind a glacial first quarter aftre breaking sharply and making the lead and already displaying a fine win stalking a fast pace.
