Garrett Gomez has ridden Pioneerof the Nile in each of his four victories, but he’s also ridden Florida Derby runner-up Dunkirk for trainer Todd Pletcher, who hopes to make the 20-horse Derby field despite marginal graded stakes earnings.
Baffert said he hasn’t thought about whether Gomez will be his Derby jockey.
The trainer caught I Want Revenge’s performance in Saturday’s $750,000 Wood Memorial, in which the colt got caught flat-footed at the start, trailed the field and then got through a wall of horses to win by 1½ lengths.
“That horse ran a really great race,” Baffert said. “It just shows you the quality of horses in California is very strong. This is a tough (Kentucky) Derby field. There are six or eight strong contenders. I’m just glad I’m part of the top five.
