Default Nice ride by Gomez

I didn't bet the race. Just commenting after (finally) watching the replay on Calracing.

Why was Gomez in such a hurry on Shes All Eltish? And, you'd think he's learned that putting a horse under pressure while entering the stretch guarantees a DUCK IN. (Well, at least he wasn't sticking righty.)

Abused and passed late by a suckup run. Nice...............

Back to your regularly scheduled posting.

...and he's arguably the top jockey in the country. It's borderline depressing how bad the jockey colony is.

The three blind mice have spoken and as usual, have no clue to what ACTUALLY occurred! BBB

They said on ESPN that the starting gate spooked her. . .

You got that wrong: I believe he hit ONE pick4 last fall; paying a whopping 4:1 or so. I mean, his plays at SAR, for example, were beyond embarrassing. I was at the point where I was pitying the DOOFUS last summer as he was stumbling and bumbling his way to one blown pick 4 after another.

And, the ironic thing is that he's clueless when it come to trips.

Let's get something out of the way first.....this is how you return to posting on the net, after a two week sabatical, due to your absurd Derby opinions? You honestly don't have a clue. The Fat Man has a better understanding of trip handicapping than 99.99999% of all horseplayers....and that's probably understating it. And, frankly, even if he didn't, there is no denying he is 100% correct that She's All Eltish was much the best in today's Black Eyed Susan.

It's pretty astounding the arrogance you continue to display both here and elsewhere considering you have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to have one of the single worst handicapping opinions in the history of horseplaying. Combine that with a total lack of betting acumen and you are the complete package of hopelessness.

Things have gotten so desperate for you that you might need to call some of your friends back to remind us what a genius you are.

BBB is right that turf rail placement is worth noting. Somewhere in the funny are a few good concepts.

its a lot safer to just say something off the wall , or laugh at the person who says it, then to actually break down a trip and stretch run

Thanks for the compliment, Triple B. To be included with the likes of Fattie and hooves is an honor.

I keyed She's All Eltish with all the horses but BSharp in $20 Exactas and $5 Trifectas, I did end up hitting a savor tri but she didn't seem to coorperate today, headstrong and Gomez fought it, and rightfully so.

I am just pissed I didn't take full advantage of tossing the unbelievable bet BSharpsonata

i agree. for all the bad mouthing thats going back and forth here. i needed that horse on top. i think he moved too early, the horses to his inside were dead. if he waits a little longer, i think, she wins. what was weird is hes usually the last one to move, maybe he thought he had it won. he took a shot , but i was wondering because horses were flying down the lane like the winner did. i thought he used his move prematurely.

Bad trips are not always the rider's fault and She's All Eltish has proven a tough horse to ride and one that has made a premature move in many of her races. Take a look at the Bonnie Miss. Not so dissimilar. In that case the field was possibly worse and the wet track probably hurt her yesterday.

It is a misconception to immediately gravitate towards the jockey when a horse gets a bad trip. It is often jockey error but far from always. In this case I tend to think it was situational and the horse.

It's the jocks fault. It has to be. Or else people would have to look elsewhere for blame, justification or something of the like. LOL.

Instead of always focusing on the jockey, people need to think more about the trip in general, and stop clouding their minds with jockeys.

Trust me....it can't hurt.
