How'd he get the job? Perhaps he's the second best jock in the country, perhaps he's got the best agent. All I know is I wtched the past few Belmont cards and I think he won one race. That 20% meet percentage is going to be about 15% after this weekend. If he rides like he did this weekend for the next couple weeks, it will be under 10%. All I am saying is he's riding poor as heck right now. And maybe most of Todd Pletcher's horses need a race? I think he's a very stylish rider, but he's not doing too well right now.

A couple more weeks like this and he could be chasing Castro and Bravo at the beach.

Here is one obvservation that could be way off, but a decent theory. Pletcher is ALWAYS on fire at Saratoga, and with that coming up soon, he might not be drilling down on his horses just yet.

A perfect example is Flower Alley, he must think he is absolute monster and that he is going to win every major race he is in because if he doesn't get back soon, he will have no shot at HOY. Year is close to being half over.

Playa,
You gotta see reality ratherthan how you want reality to be. Johnny crsuhed every thing last year and made all the money. Percentage alone wont get you anything.
Gomez has broken a lotat guys lately and been exposed for what he is, a good physical rider with a brain the size of a pea who is VERY streaky.
I think thats become obvious. The real greats avoid being streaky like that and prasied for their consistency.
YOu wanna get all over Johnny V? Good luck to you. I've never seen the guy act unprofessionally and if hes not riding brilliantly at times, he makes sure to ride professionally and not make stupid errors like Gomez does.
The hallmark of any professional is his or her consistency.
