DickyW:
I was wondering about Gomez recently because he used to be a very nice longshot jockey for me.
Anyway...last July, Gomez was charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, and being under the influence. He was supposed to enter a drug diversion program, but I haven't heard or seen anything since.
Here's hoping he gets his life together and returns to riding. He would need to reapply for a license in California, but the guess is that if he's received treatment, he would be given another chance just like Patrick Valenzuela (among others).
