Of course his parents are going to want him to get another agent.I'll tell ya somebody I don't really appreciate.That is this Frankel.That guy is 2 faced as can be.He lured this kid out here,and said the kid was "his discovery." He isn't giving this kid much.See,that's the reason the kid came to SOCAL.Bobby lured him out here.

Is it really working? It seems that the Mig has less mounts now than he did on the NY circuit. Before Gomez got out there it seemed that he was getting 3-5 mounts daily. It seemed that he was riding well and won some big races too. But between now and Sunday he has a total of 5 mounts(1 Fri,3 Sat,1 Sun). So is this a case of a good (east coast guy) jockey still trying to make connections with trainers or is it a case of him being represented by a guy that also represents (arguably) the best jock in the country?
