Why?  Because he lost a few races where you bet on his horse?  Leading money winner four years running.  Not sure how you overrate that.  18 million last year.  Those are facts.  Not my personal 'ratings'.

gomez is good, im not saying hes not....but hes not the best. john velasquez and mike smith are both better. gomez has been slipping very badly lately. he did win the keeneland meet but thats mainly because he rode in pretty much every race on a favorite most of the time. not very impressive. maybe hes back on crack

well, for the fact you think Smith is just as good doesn't do it for me. But I am very Northeast based. My favs are Bravo, Prado, J.Velaz, Gomez.

Look after Chuck C. Lopez as well a lot.

how can you not think mike smith is a top jockey....he has the job of riding the best horse and everytime he rides her, he has to deal with so much pressure and never gives a bad ride. as far as the other jockeys you mentioned bravo has always been awesome but prado hasnt been the same for 3 or 4 years and the other 2 arent even worth typing there names

hows it a joke how he rides zenyatta. hes never lost. he takes her wide alot because hes avoids trouble and knows she can win without saving ground. obviously you dont know much about what your talking about. i guess you want him to save ground a get stuck on the rail like gomez did with lucky in the santa anita derby. get some education about racing before you make stupid comments like that!!

Losing Baffort not helping. He would be better off in California. See you at Del Mar Garret.

so he's gonna ride monmouth which is friday, saturday, and sunday but he will ship to belmont, the spa, and del mar for the big ones . . . all of which occur on saturdays and sundays minus holidays except for the spa which will run a G2 here and there on a wednesday and friday.  it will interesting to see how this works out.

 

the true test will be if he has live mounts on wednesday to friday at the spa when he is bolting for monmouth for the weekend.  the reverse doesn't apply since monmouth doesn't run on wed/thurs. 

if i am on owner out here in inglewood or del mar with a G2 or G1 why would i beg him to fly out if i could get bejarano, t baze, espinoza or even snatch russel from up north?

mike smith rides perfect in every big race.....example....jacksons bend in the preakness....perfect ride and almost won with a horse that shouldnt be near the finish. anybody else rides zenyatta she has a loss on her belt in one of those races
