Have you ever taken a good look at some of the horses he rides? It's ABSURD.

Anyway, carry on. But remember, Gomez only won this title because Johnny got hurt. Period. He's probably a better rider than Johnny, though who cares as they're both good, but he would never have won this thing if not for the misfortune of another.

But, then again, Prado benefited from Mig's misfortune about seven years ago.

The only reason I brought up total mounts was because Oracle was saying that Prado had taken some time off. I was saying that you can't use that as an excuse because Prado still has more mounts.

I was wrong about the number of races Gomez won today. I thought I heard one of the commentators on TVG say that he won 5 races today. He won 4 races today, not 5.

The haters said he wouldn't make it in NY now he is gonna win the eclipes award away from NY's golden boy. Johnny V. The only arguement with johhny v is that i would like to see him not ride 1st call for pletcher and bounce around from stable to stable. His agent would half to work to hard and wouldn't be able to sit at the barn and decied which one of pletchers looks better to ride.
