To try and defend rides like Too Much Bling, Sigfreto, and Milwaukee defies comprehension.
Hes still prone to disasters unlike Pval, Prado, and johnny who never get locked in jackpots they can't get out of for an entire race.
Gomez is going out there this winter because the purses dwarf Gulf's especially in the stakes races.
As I've said before, the overall performance is the most important thing. Sure he's given a few bad rides but I think he's also won on some horses that most other jocks would not have won. Overall, you have to admit that he's riding great. He's the leading rider at Belmont right now in terms of wins. It looks to me like most trainers back there think he's great. His business is getting really good.
