Your views have slowly been changing over the last year. A year ago, you said that the guy stinks period. A few months ago, you said that he is a moron. Then you said he has some talent but is a moron. Then it changed to he has more talent than anyone but is inconsistent. Pretty soon, you'll be saying that he's the best jockey period. You won't be able to say that he suddenly learned how to ride. He's been riding for 15 years. You'll have to admit that you originally misjudged him.
You can't judge anyone in any sport based on their performance in any given month. Every single great player in every sport has had bad months. If you checked anyone's stats including Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretzky, you would see that they had some slumps. The only thing that matters is how someone does over time.
Just out of curiosity, where do you rank Gomez overall? I know you think he has tremendous physical talent but is lacking upstairs. Where does he rank overall? If you had to hire a jock to ride for you full-time, what would your list look like? Who would be your first choice, second choice, third choice, etc? I assume JV would be your first choice.
