Gomez did a great job for Pletcher when Johnny V. was out. I am sure that might have had something to do with Johnny healing faster than usual, LOL. Anyway, Gomez will be going to KY to ride for Pletcher. It's an excellent strategic move. Johnny V., eventually, can only ride one colt for Pletcher in the Classics -- if he get there of course. This move also puts Gomez in the middle of the fray, not just in the CA market. You've got trainers from all over the North America heading to KY and there is a lot of business that can be picked up.
Johnny V. has got one monster edge, besides of course being a great jock -- and that's Angel. Gomez on the other hand has a monster edge as well, besides being a great jock -- and that's Ron Anderson.
