There are very few jockies that ride with the patience and strength down the stretch of a Gomez, I've seen him take horses to the lead and wire fields with a less superior horse in addtition to coming from off the pace. In my opinion he would fit in well when the era of great jockies were plentiful. Guys like Stevens, Bailey, Delahoussaye, Pincay... jockies that have the versatility of judging pace and having the patience and strength down the stretch. There aren't too many jockies with his head and hands in the game today. He's clearly the best we have.
