Garrett GoGoing back to SoCal

As Jim Belushi says to Demi Moore's wiseass friend in 'About Last Night":

"If you didn't have a ***** you wouldn't be of use to anyone".

We can port that over to Gomez: If he wasn't a strong finisher, there wouldn't be much use for him, 'cause the rest of his game sucks.

After blowing 2 G1 races on Ventura, and sleepwalking for the past few months, GG finally turned in a noteworthy ride yesterday when he drafted with Belle Allure to nullify the significant pace advantage of Encanto Park. How ****in ironic.

Back where he belongs: beating up on a bunch of nothings (other than Bejarano).

On the plus side: all those horses that Rosario now fails to bring home (with his can't keep 'em straight in the lane BS) will start winning again.

Personally I prefer the line Fender says(The Bad a$s bad guy in the movie Cyborg)

'scientists were working on a cure that would end the plague and restore the world. Restore it? Why? I like the death! I like the misery!'

Anyway the point was if you liked anything Bejarano was riding chances were you couldn't bet the horse he was on due to people piggy backing anything he was on regardless if the horse was good or not...Now atleast there's a better chance to wager fairly out there with Gomez taking his share of the popularity contest.

Never thought I'd say this, but I think Mike Smith has been riding pretty well recently.

You think the jock colony in CA is worse that NY?

[the_fat_man]

Dominguez, Maragh, Garcia, Coa, Velazquez, Velasquez, Castellano, Prado

versus

Gomez, Bejarano, Talamo, Rosario, Solis, the Bazes, the rest are too bad to mention

you do the math

New York, presently, has about as good a jock colony as you'd want

I wonder when people will start mentioning Lezcano when a top list is mentioned, he does more with less thus far this meet or from atleast what I have noticed.

Why do we call groups of jocks "colonies"? Is it because they are small like bees?

Total guess but maybe they didn't used to be paid well enough that they lived on the track in the dorms with the grooms.

not a huge fan of C. Valasquez or Catellano, and not sure Edgar could ride a bike these days... I'd probably prefer the CA bunch, but I see your point and can't really argue with you.
