Do you think that Pletcher will keep riding him? With all those horrible rides he's been giving him I'd think he may look for a new rider. LOL. I'm just busting your chops.

Rupert he hasn't given Pletcher the number of bad rides recently thats hes given others.
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.

Maybe Ramon Dominguez will ride for him in California. R.D. has been saying he wanted to move tack to NY or Cali . This could be very good for opportunity for him to ride first call for Pletcher and he also had succes riding for Drysdale and Frankel when he went to Cali for the big days. He rides most of his horses at Delaware and takes trips to other tracks to ride for Pletcher like he did Sunday at Woodbine and won the stakes for him.

Gomez will definitely be riding for him in California. Gomes is not going to stay in New Tork for the inner-dirt meet at Aqueduct. Gomez has already said that he will go back to California during that time of the year.
