Nothing like a bunch of special Olympians getting together and debating who the best jock in the country is.

Gomez isn't even the top jock in Cali any longer. In fact, he's not even the 2nd best jock out there. This rein twirling idiot has blown more rides, gotten more good horses beaten, than just about any big name jock not named CRUGET, that is, in over 35 years of watching races.

As for Dominguez: I thought a hell of a lot more of him going into 2010 than I did at the end of it. Some of his rides on GP this year were as bad as those of Gomez in years past. And, he's 2nd only to the PITIFUL Lezcano in not being able to keep his horses on the correct lead (or control repeated lead changes) through the lane. Of course, his SETUP IQ is through the roof when it comes to his competition and he's the perfect example of how someone who is not nearly as strong as some of the other top jocks can, nonetheless, outride them.

I'm sure people thought a hell of a lot more of you going into 2010 than at the end, after your Dimaggio-esque 0 for 66 streak.
