Gomez to ride Perfect Drift in Classic

Once again, its not about differing. You are the ONLY guy who saw that race who thinks it wasn't horrendous ok? Thats fine.
But if you feel the need to run to his defense even after he gives a butcher job like that? I dunno what to say.
You find it odd that anyone who saw the race questions if he was stiffing or just plain incredibly stupid except you? Its not about anything else but that ride, and I just don't see how you could defend it, that ride.

Next time he gives a butcher job you will read about it, but only when he gives one. I guess I have to show the inconsistency and display it.

No problem. I'm on it.

To read this board, one would think that Gomez is the worst rider in the country and the only guy that ever gives bad rides. Thats what i think is really funny.

These trainers are all idiots i tell you. Idiots. Anyone wanna bet that Gomez gets another Violette mount before the meet is out? Surely after that "butcher job" a trainer as good as violette would find someone else to ride his horses. No?

Why do these trainers consistently put a guy up that is so wildly inconsistent? Can ANYONE answer that question?

hes good.
a very good big race rider.
but he makes mistakes, and probably more than most other top echelon riders.
thats all anyone is saying I think.

I know this,
I want him on my horse on Breeders Cup day over just about anyone besides PVal or Bejerano.
but on Thursday afternoon at Belmont? well, I'd just assume have Coa or another capable jock.

Hey, thats fair. I respect that. I dont agree as far as more than most top echelon riders but thats a fair way to put it and i respect that opinion.

As far as thursday afternoon at Belmont, I think i would rather have Coa than ANY other jockey. Either him or Cornelio.

you know you might be right.
Coa has become as dependable as just about anyone and as a turf handicapper, I have a learned to really appreciate him as a rider.
