Why do guys like Pletcher, Asmussen and Clement keep using him if he is so stupid?

The million dollar question!

Asmussen rarely uses him, and when does Clement use him? Maybe once in a while. He doesnt get near Shug's horses and he doesn't get near Mott's either. hasn't ridden a race for Dutrow up here either, hmmm, and he doesnt ride much for Asmussen . Like today, when Asmussen wanted to win a stakes race, he used PRADO!! LMFAO!!!!!
Umm lets see now(man you guys won't ever admit a damn thing). Try this misleading stat!!!
Saturday- Gomez is blanked
Sunday- Gomez is blanked
Monday- Gomez is blanked
Tuesday- day off
Wednesday- Gomez wins one.
Thusday- Gomez is blanked.

Geez guys that just great. Mr Inconsistency wins one race in 5 racing days and please don't tell me he hasn't been on live mounts. Hes in sixth place because he takes 5 day mental vacations in between riding well and winning races.

Do you think you could find me a five day stretch this year where Johnny or Edgar only won one race?

First of all, i dont think he is as good as Johnny V or Edgar. But that isnt saying a lot because i dont think anyone is right now. Is that your basis of comparison? If he isnt as good as the best two than he sucks? Thats tough.

Gomez is trying a new circuit. He will slump more than JV or Edgar because he doesnt have the relationships that those guys do. All things considered i think Gomez is doing better than expected. He is certainly doing better than YOU predicted.

No he isn't. hes in sixth place, and I thought he would finish the meet in third place!!!!!! hes riding piss poor lately!! You see Granny Fanny or Milwaukee? Hes inconsistent, just like I have always said. Who the hell goes from tied or leading rider to sixth place in 6 days!!!!!!!?????? Hes the only guy I know who could accomplish that.

Again, you know why. Come on. As in the game as you are (didnt you pick out a grade 1 winner?) you know how much tougher it is for a rider to stay consistent at a new circuit. To compound matters, he openly stated that he would probably go back west after the meet.

He is two winners away from second place and one winner away from third. He is riding at a 17% clip for the meet and has won over a million dollars there. Not too shabby at the toughest meet in the country.

Did you like the way Gomez schooled those other jocks today with his 3 wins. I think he's back in 2nd place now.
