Who cares that he didn't win a race today? He only had three mounts today. He's still won more money in purses than any other rider in North America. Why do guys like Pletcher, Asmussen and Clement keep using him if he is so stupid?

Asmussen rarely uses him, and when does Clement use him? Maybe once in a while. He doesnt get near Shug's horses and he doesn't get near Mott's either. hasn't ridden a race for Dutrow up here either, hmmm, and he doesnt ride much for Asmussen . Like today, when Asmussen wanted to win a stakes race, he used PRADO!! LMFAO!!!!!
Umm lets see now(man you guys won't ever admit a damn thing). Try this misleading stat!!!
Saturday- Gomez is blanked
Sunday- Gomez is blanked
Monday- Gomez is blanked
Tuesday- day off
Wednesday- Gomez wins one.
Thusday- Gomez is blanked.

Geez guys that just great. Mr Inconsistency wins one race in 5 racing days and please don't tell me he hasn't been on live mounts. Hes in sixth place because he takes 5 day mental vacations in between riding well and winning races.

Do you think you could find me a five day stretch this year where Johnny or Edgar only won one race?

First of all, i dont think he is as good as Johnny V or Edgar. But that isnt saying a lot because i dont think anyone is right now. Is that your basis of comparison? If he isnt as good as the best two than he sucks? Thats tough.

Gomez is trying a new circuit. He will slump more than JV or Edgar because he doesnt have the relationships that those guys do. All things considered i think Gomez is doing better than expected. He is certainly doing better than YOU predicted.

No he isn't. hes in sixth place, and I thought he would finish the meet in third place!!!!!! hes riding piss poor lately!! You see Granny Fanny or Milwaukee? Hes inconsistent, just like I have always said. Who the hell goes from tied or leading rider to sixth place in 6 days!!!!!!!?????? Hes the only guy I know who could accomplish that.

More importantly, why did Ron Anderson decide to take on his book? Anderson must be a moron as well. I guess the two he booked rides for before Gomez were real morons as well. Hold on...wait a second...

Didnt that moron anderson use to book rides for a couple of other dumb riders named Bailey and Stevens?

Simple, noone else as available. WHo the hell else was he gonna get? His rider retired, and everyone else was happy with their agent. I mean, is that rocket science?

It became his mount when Johnny chose to ride another horse the day that she went out West. Thats how it works Tim. You don't lose mounts to injury but you do lose mounts when asked to make a decision between two horses and you choose the other one.

There are a bunch of guys he could have gotten...this is RON ANDERSON for crying out loud. This is the best agent in the game. Are you saying he couldnt have gotten Coa, bejarano, nakatani or a handful of other riders?

These guys are hysterical. First one of em(who I thought was better than this) decides to start a thread last week about garrett gomez being the leader rider. So apparently this person thought that stat meant something!!! Other wise why start the thread? Now its all different, now that he is in sixth after a very bad stretch "that stat is misleading". Honestly, you can't have it both ways guys. It either means something or it doesnt. Ok boys, if you think riding one winner in 5 racing days with those mounts is okie-dokie, your standards are quite low.

There are a TON of guys that were available to Ron Anderson. Thats my point. Why did ANDERSON choose GOMEZ?

Garrett was getting the top mounts all Winter on the West Coast.What other guy (who was already getting the top mounts on a major circuit) was available?

Those guys fire their agents all the time. All the time! Was Bailey "available" when he started working with Anderson? Anderson does the choosing not the other way around.

The only two guys that wouldnt have listened are probably Johnny V and Prado.
