Un****ingbelievable.

That's all.

81 career top Beyer, not competitive at SUNLAND, and romps in the Derby?!

They need to change his Wet Track Tomlinson to about 60,000, because there's no other way in hell that makes any sense whatsoever.

I guess Gomez has carte blance in Kentucky too. Cause it sure looked like he lugged out in the end squeezing Papa Clem and Musket Man. But it Gomez, so I guess it's ok!

at the 3/8ths when he started running but the rest of the field was tied to a hitching post, how did the rail cause that?

The horse will never win again, unless by some miracle he catches a field that did not run to their form on a slop track, if thats the case I like him.

How many times have I noted that this jock repeatedly does that(and gets away with it.)

Just curious what does everyone think of Pioneer of the Nile's performance today? Was it enough to end the synth/dirt debate?

I've never benn more puzzled with the winner of a race then I am today. He just relished a track that 18 other horses happened to just despise I guess. No clue what the heck just happened.

dude, that horse could have chosen the 10 path and won by daylight, he was moving twice the rate of the rest of the field, the rail had zero to do with the win.

Join the Dance really had an impact on this derby, he was suppose to set it up for Dunkirk instead he set it up for Mine that Bird.

Pioneer Of The Nile ran a very good race, he was close to the pace and was never close to the rail today, coupled with his ride on Zambezi Sun not one of Gomez's best performances today.

Jon White can sleep a little easier tonight.

Hard to see the Sunland Derby not getting Grade III status next year now. That will throw the preps of some horses for a loop.

I guess between Peppers Pride and Mine that Bird, New Mexico racing might get a little more respect, eh?

Seriously, it is pretty cool that the often dissed here New Mexico's Peppers Pride leaves the all time unbeaten mark at 19 within five months of another New Mexico racing connection winning the Kentucky Derby....easily.

Like it or not, it happened.
