Gomez has looked pretty good on chalk today. That ride on battle chant was beautiful.

We are through 4 days of racing and 5 races on day five and Johnny V still hasnt won a race. He sure is schooling Garrett right now.

Alas, Johnny has the call on Pletcher chalk in the next three races.

Gomez already has 3 wins today and the day isn't over it.

What's so funny is that when Oracle kept ranting about how bad Gomez was about a couple of months ago, a couple of the other posters were so gullible that they suggested that it may be a good idea to just toss every horse Gomez is on because he is so bad. It was one of the funniest things I've ever heard. Gomez is probably the best jockey in the country. He is so good that horses will often improve several lengths for him. He gets more run out of horses than anyone. So you have a guy who is probably the best jockey in the country and some of these posters thought that you should throw out of all of his horses becuase he is so bad. That would almost be like saying that the US Ryder Cup team has no chance because Tiger Woods is so bad.

I wish he would have gotten #4 on Tahoe Warrior.

I backed that one, and thought that he would go to the front and stay.

I guess I was half-right....he went to the front
