Who really cares?

I'm sure someone can pull up this information, but I'd venture to guess Gomez has ridden a lot more for Pletcher over the past 2 years than Baffert. And do you think Gomez wouldn't be able to sleep at night if he doesn't get some of Baffert's potential "A-list" mounts, if he chose Dunkirk? he's argurable the most indemand jockey in the country.

And if it was strictly a case of "which trainer do you not want to burn your bridges with", you would have to side with Pletcher. The size of his operation and the potential for stakes mounts is greatly superior to what Baffert can offer.
