Default RIP Garrett Gomez
Per Jay Privman's Twitter:

We have been working the apparent Garrett Gomez story for more than 3 hours. Incident apparently happened at tribal hotel casino, but despite repeated calls to public information contact there have not received confirmation, but friends of family are confirming
His daughter Shelby is confirming that Garrett Gomez is dead at age 44.
Update: http://www.drf.com/news/former-jocke...-found-dead-44 Appears to be a drug overdose.

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

I got to see him a lot in person and will agree with what everyone said that he was a really, really good rider. Absolutely one of the best I've ever seen. What Bob Baffert said was very telling. He was just money. Also he was the kind of rider you didn't tell anything to.

Very sad.
