mine.

You keep going back to the inner track arguement as if Dominguez is just an inner track phenom. Prior to Velazquez winning Saratoga this year, Dominguez had won 9 straight riding titles at the NYRA tracks.

From April to November NYRA has the most competitive jockey colony in the entire country. And Dominguez dominates them all and has for years.

Is hilarious her bringing up AQU when Gomez rides against an easy colony out there and at some real horrendous meets (Hollywood winter meet is a disaster...as is Hollywood Summer...SA winter....). right now it's tough to argue which is worse AQU inner or SA.

Why bust-out the Seinfeld DVD's when I can read this thread for some good laughs?

Or you can listen to old race tapes.

Uh, Gomez doesn't even ride these meets, and trust me Santa Anita has better riders than those Aqueduct clowns

He isn't at SA right now? You'd better call him and tell him there is a Gomez impostor riding at SA right now. What about Fall hollywood? Another impostor I guess.


Please obtain a clue.

He's riding Santa Anita, but the other meets he did not, he came to Hollywood the closing week in the fall, that constitutes riding the meet?
He rode primarily at Churchill in the fall than missed several week with a shoulder fracture, so no he hardly rode at Hollywood.

I get that Hoss, I really do, my contention is so what? I don't see dominating meets when you are on live mounts every race and have significantly more mounts as everyone else some knd of extraordinary achievement, I just don't, I'd rather have had success in racings biggest races, I understand if you don't, it's like the song, we just disagree. I think Ramon is a very good rider, and I am happy for him, I'm just saying if you laid out what both riders did this year and gave me a choice to pick which year I would have rather had it would be Garretts year, and not really even close.

Fair enough and as I mentioned, and I'll do it again, Gomez is a great rider. But I do think it is worth mentioning that Gomez isn't exactly riding hopeless longshots. He's riding live mounts every race too. That goes with the territory. Gomez is at the point in his career where he can be choosy and only ride when and who he wants.

I can agree with this , and now let's end this before it turns into another Zenyatta thread.
