Hell, I thought Ramon's rides on Better Talk Now and Friendly Island in the 2006 BC were great. How about his 2nd aboard Bluegrass Cat in the Derby?

I wish I could get someone on a mission to find a picture of Linda Rice and Ramon together, have them both autograph it and send it to Gales.

no one remembers who is 2nd

as for gio ponti this year don't you think the kid would now that the outside is the best place to be at SA?

well if the rail / inside was good at SA why does mike smith come off the rail on the far turn , he has 1 horse in front of him it's not like he couldn't have gotten zenyatta through on the rail , there must be some reason why he went 7 wide that day ???????

He always goes 7 wide with her, because he's spotting the whole field about 20 lengths and ends up having to circle them.

When Smith made his decision the inside wasn't open yet.

his decision was made before the race started , he knew he had to be wide , it was the best part of the track to be that day (and most days ) , he went wide and won , ramon tucked inside and lost

take the same 2 horses and give them the different rides and you have a different winner
