You may be right, alot of Trainer's do use him. Maybe it's just me then, still I think he is very average solely from my experiences betting horses he is on. I would say Gomez is one of only a handful of jockies that can make a difference on a horse. What sparked my thoughts today was Costume's win in the feature at SA. A debatable underachiever never thought she was anything special who Bejarano rode previously and under Gomez the 1st time she fulfills some of that potential. While I don't think Bejarano is a bad jockey I think his reputation is somewhat inflated just from this viewpoint.
