Gomez is a top 5 rider. I would only take J. Velasquez over him on dirt or turf and C. Velasquez on the turf.

people are quick to give P Val a break and as far as I know Garret Gomez has not relapsed or fallen back into his drug habit.

He was winning plenty of races before and after a short time at the bottom has worked his way back up there.

I don' think Gomez is to blame for Ace losing the Millio

Now, Desormeaux.. I have no clue with him
so I guess we're even

Of course Gomez isnt to blame for ACE losing the million. The oldest cliche in racing "pace makes the race" and ACE needs a ton of it to be effective. All one had to do is look at the pps to know that ACE had little chance of winning the million.
