Thought he was doing better but it was kind of strange that he just disappeared from the scene. Always liked him.

Best wishes to his family and friends.

Best moment for me was the ride on Blame.

Does anyone know how to check older results? During the call of this race Durkin mentions the big day for Gomez, I would like to see who else he rode that day and watch replays. Thanks

Gomez on Pluck in 2010 BC Juv Turf. 13 post. Stumbles from gate. Avoids a fallen rider. Goes from last to first to win in a gallop. Amazing.

Great ride. Seeing Banned in that race made me think of this

Equibase has a historical results tab which shows all races run since 1991. A quick search there showed he only had one other mount that day, winning the Vosburgh with 26-1 Taste of Paradise for Gary Mandella. So it was a big day for him to come to New York and win two Grade 1s in two mounts. Unfortunately it does not seem to be on YouTube and Calracing only goes back to 2007, so there may be video available, but I don't know how to access it.
