They wouldn't take Gomez down in a 5k claimer. Do you really think that they would take him down in the Kentucky Derby? He's the Teflon Don when it comes to that.

NO ONE was beating that horse. that was an incredible effort by a horse and jockey and they shouldnt be cursed for winning.

congratulations to all parties involved.

and it's not sore losers claiming foul on the winner-they're talking about POTN clearly bumping the two horses to his outside, possbily keeping musket man from placing. no one is saying the incident affected the winner.

Please. It is against Coa! He's just pissed that he didn't get the chance to bump him first. He is closer to a street hood on the track than anyone. But, I certainly did notice the bump. Not sure if it would have been upheld but there probably should have been a quick objection lodged. I do find it hard to worry about Coa being impeeded however. There was an interview in the Saratoga Special last year, I think, where he was quoted as saying that he didn't care about his popularity in the jock's room and he will take his risks with the rules and if he gets suspended, that's ok. So the stewards may have also been influenced by more than the teflon jock that Gomez tends to be.
