Jones, rightfully thinking the Preakness was Spun's best chance at Triple Crown immortality, based on Pino's Pimilico experience (Jones and Pino were Maryland based guys), was livid after the second jewel. Gomez was Rags regular jock and rode Mr. Tabor's AP Indy filly with tremendous success in graded stakes company on the west coast. However, Todd P. was not sure if he was going to run her at a mile and half for the white carnations. Gomez had already committed to Jones when Rags' connections made a very sporting, and in hindsight, a very wise decision to take on the colts in New York. Johnny V. took the mount, and as the say... the rest is history. Actually it was history as she was the first filly to win the third leg of the triple crown in over a 100 years.JBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8420729300769326017.post-7572837242357213212009-04-12T21:44:00.000-04:002009-04-12T21:44:00.000-04:00Piper: I'm pretty sure he's aware of it...but it d...Piper: I'm pretty sure he's aware of it...but it doesn't get the press that Mickelson got..IMHO.<BR/><BR/>I would go with Dunkirk, showed that he can go on dirt...PoTN seems tough to handle and has only won on the fake stuff...<BR/><BR/>Thanks for reading.Gene Kershnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00586143410935016668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8420729300769326017.post-72646943985578002112009-04-12T21:12:00.000-04:002009-04-12T21:12:00.000-04:00Do you not think this guys knows this.Reverse who ...Do you not think this guys knows this.<BR/>Reverse who would you pick??San Anita Piperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12430483876573471080noreply@blogger.com
