The " slam " on Dominguez was for an indefensible decision, one that even he admitted after the race was a gross error in judgement, and it underscored that he is not the superstar that some seem to believe he is. Nobody ever said he isn't a qualified rider. He is, however, a rider who makes somewhat baffling choices at times and seems to find trouble when there was simply no need to do so.
His big week in NY is a function of the live mounts he gets. The major reason this is the case is because other than Eibar Coa ( and perhaps Mike Luzzi ) the NY colony is extremely weak. Since you think Ramon Dominguez is better than Edgar Prado you must be very confused as to why Ramon flees town the second Edgar comes back. It must be out of respect for Edgar and a desire to not embarrass him.
