Daytime Promise

[blackthroatedwind]

Daytime Promise, the victim of the new millenium's most mysterious ride on January 11 by Ramon Dominguez, returns in today's 3rd at Aqueduct. While she can win, and will probably even be favored, it is a MUCH tougher spot than last time, with Samsincharge loose on the lead, and Love Locket off a tough trip. Both the afformentioned horses, and A True Pussycat, are much better than anyone Daytime Promise faced last time.

I for one look forward to the posts after Daytime Promise loses today insinuating that the result shows Ramon did NOT ride her poorly last time. Those posts will not be correct.

Bad rides are always rewarded in this game....as long as your agent brings donuts to the barn.

something to file away for later...donuts as peace offering...thanks

If Ramon got through the hole last time, he would have been hailed as hero. He is far and away the best rider in New York, and is a perpetual example of good judgement and smarts on a horse. He rode that mare perfectly last time and was unlucky to have been beaten. It is impossible to criticize him for his judgement in that instance.

As fine a post as I have read on the internet in years. A person as adept as you should be working in this industry.

I guess your wrong. Here are Ramon's quotes:

“I’m just glad to be back on her after I gave her such an awful ride last time,” Dominguez said. “We had a great trip up to the quarter pole. I don’t know what I was thinking when I went inside. I couldn’t get a clear run through the stretch. If she runs to her last two races, she’s the best horse in here.”

I guess it is good judgement that makes you go inside in a five horse race when you have a horse who is atleast a couple lengths the best in the race. And it must be the smarts on a horse that cost him his 10% that race.

Good work on the analysis! Ramon is the best rider in Maryland/Delaware....not NY.
