Gomez returns to winners circle at Hollywood Park November 26th, 2009
Jockey Garrett Gomez, who was banged up in a spill over the weekend, returned to the winners circle on Wednesday with a seven-length victory aboard betting favorite Conveyance in a $38,000 allowance feature at Hollywood Park.
Conveyance, a 2-year-old colt, covered six furlongs in 1:09 and paid $3.20, $2.40 and $2.10. Joyful Success returned $4.20 and $2.40. Majestic Afleet paid $2.10 to show.
Conveyance earned $22,800 to boost his career earnings to $44,400.
Gomez escaped serious injury Saturday when his mount, a 2-year-old filly named Bonnie Brown Eyes, broke down in the stretch, sending him to the ground. The horse later died.
