Maybe Gomez doesn't want to compete with NY jockeys...he wasn't the "star" at Saratoga.

He still had at least 3 Grade 1 wins at the best meet in the US.

I was able to speak off hand with Gomez in July, and I asked him how he enjoyed the meet so far. He said, while he loved the area and had high hopes for the meet to go on, his comments were basically a 5,000 claimer is a 5,000 claimer regardless of the purse, so he spends more time in the jockeys room than riding.
