Hooves, Gomez is in one of his mini funks again

You know, I am beginning to see what you mean with this guy. I was mad a couple of weeks ago in the ride he gave on Too Much Bling. I was sitting there thinking what in the h e l l is he doing. I could have rode the horse better than he did that day...well maybe not, but you know what I mean. Gomez is crazy. He is either brillant or just plain bad. I don't think Too Much Bling would have won the race anyway, but it may have been a lot closer if he wouldn't have put in that awful ride.

I think Johnny is the best as a rider. He is so consistent. I hope he can recover from his fall and reach his full potential again because this is the best rider we have going for us. I am also beginning to really like Leparoux and Jara too.

On another note, is Gomez now the #1 for Pletcher? I noticed Johnny wasn't riding Todd's horses in the big races at Churchill this past weekend.

Also, Rafael Bejarano's ride on Oonagh Maccool in the Fleur De Lis this weekend made me mad too. With a better ride, I think she would have won the race.
