Remember when Pat Day's mount would open as the favorite in virtually every race at CD?

I do think they will end up being very similar odds at post time, however.

That began, however, when it was Pat Day against nobody basically. Whenever you see something like that, it is one dominant rider, like Krone or Bravo ( at one time ) in New Jersey or even Ramon this winter. You don't see that when there are a number of top riders.

Gomez is a fine rider, but so are many of these guys, and this whole thing is internet blather, and really not that big a deal. It is probably a money grab anyway.
