Not a bad weekend


Garret Gomez won us some money on Friday aboard 18-1 shot Smudgeledo. He then jumped on a red-eye back to the Spa at Saratoga where he won the Grade I Travers Stakes aboard Colonel John, yesterday. After that, he jumped right back on a plane at 5 this morning to get back out here to Del Mar where he came from behind on Whatsthescript to win the $400,000 Grade I Del Mar Mile and in the following race, the signature race of the Del Mar meeting, he came from behind again on Go Between to win the $1 million dollar Pacific Classic.

Gomez will have a tough decision to make between riding Colonel John or Go Between later in October at the Breeder's Cup Classic.
