Title: PONT Gomez
Post by: girly on May 17, 2009, 05:30:37 AM
Does anyone know whatever happened to PONT? My tris were littered with him-it was my downfall-Did he just run out of gas?

Jon White\'s hype was too much for POTN to carry 1 3/16 miles.......or the dirt X 2 from poly = < dirt from poly X 1.

Either way one day in the future a price may be had after a LONG rest on this one.  Sitting in the grandstand boxes on the first turn he was about 5th around the turn and went for the gas only to find Gomez found none....a long rest is in order which means Zayat will have him in NY

I hope they put POTN on the turf for the summer.  As nice as he is on poly and dirt, he would be that much better on the turf in my opinion given the way he moves.

Covel:

If that was the plan, would Zayat give him back to Mott?

based on what I understand, I think there have been some bridges burned with that relationship so I don\'t think so.

Fire Billy Mott, BRILLIANT!

Cov, you\'ll understand more when you meet Zayat\'s advisors/race managers.

I have some sense.  Friends of mine and I tried to buy a horse from them and let\'s just say I walked away less than impressed.
