Garrett Gomez officially retires
 

Seems like only yesterday that Pval made it official ; now GG does in the backwash of AP and the triple crown.

In a post on his Facebook page, 43-year-old Gomez finally answered the question the racing industry has been asking since he took off mounts in October 2013, never to return again.

"I'd like everyone to know I'm officially retired from the sport of horse racing," Gomez wrote. "I thank everyone for all I achieved that had a part in my career. I had a lot of awesome moments in this game."

Ironically yet consistently premature.

Heh. I'm not entirely certain but I can guarantee this isn't the last we'll hear about Garrett Gomez.
