Congrats Martin Garcia

Gotta give this kid credit. Rode the PERFECT race. Looked like Shoemaker....Arcaro.....out there. I am sure we will see a lot more of him in the future winning Grade I's. Congrats to Martin and Jim Peagram for finally getting this horse home and the win he deserved in one of the biggest races of 2010.

Only way Garcia gets that mount was because of Peagram. He deserves credit as well.

So is GoGo the triple crown JINX

Rather hilarious seeing Go Go on that hopeless horse just trying to keep him on the track as Garcia rides Gomez's former horse to victory in a triple crown race. Wonder how Ron Anderson feels right now ?

They will see sucess in the year, but I bet they dont ride the Kentucky Derby favorite in the near future.

I have to disagree with that. The kid will be riding all of Baffert's first call's. And Baffert is the premier trainer of 3 yr olds each year. If he has a good horse in 2011 , Garcia will be on it.

Read it again, I'm saying that GoGo wont be on the fav in the near future.

LOL. Gomez is the best jock in the country, and he is going to have another year other jocks can only dream of. LAL will get beat somewhere and dont be surprised if Gomez is the one that beats him.

Best jock in country ? He wasn't even the best in So-Cal.

Not sure if he is top 3. Now that he isnt riding in So-Cal vs a below average colony he won't be getting all the best mounts. He is gonna have quite a battle this summer at MTH and Sar.

I would love to know who you think is the best in the country. Ramon Dominguez? Gomez is the best money rider out there and you knock him for two unlucky rides on LAL? Gomez doesnt ride in bulk but his win % is way above average so he may or may not win riding titles as much as Ramon or Bejarano.

Gomez doesn't care about being leading rider at a meet. That's not his main goal. He doesn't want to ride 8 horses a day. His goal is to be leading rider in the country in terms of money won. He has done that the last 4 years in a row.

Not only that, but he's not going to be the leading rider at that many meets when he's constantly travelling and missing days. I don't know how you could hold that against him. He's won the national riding title 4 years in a row. A guy can't do much better than that.

Are you the guy who takes all the pictures of the jockeys giving a thumbs up?

cmorioles · #16 05-15-2010, 06:56 PM

I would have to guess without the agent change there is no way Garcia is on that horse today. Garcia is obviously no dummy.

No. I think most of the jocks out there are borderline idiots.

Garcia sure made a shrewd business decision though. Didn't he just win the Lone Star Derby too?

Baffert tells you to take your book to Pegram (which if you didn't notice is the same name as the owner of one bafferts best clients) or you you cant ride these horses you're working for me in the AM. SHREWD!!!!!!!
