Perfect Bound Book
What if the most important things Garrett Gomez left behind were the words we almost never heard?
Nearly sixteen years ago, Hall of Fame jockey Garrett Gomez sat down with biographer Rodolfo Alvarado and spoke candidly about his victories and failures, addiction and recovery, family and forgiveness.
Those conversations were recorded.
Years later, Alvarado listened again—and discovered Garrett had left behind more than memories. He had left lessons for the rest of us.
Garrett’s Gift: Life Lessons from the Turn for Home returns to Garrett’s own words about addiction and recovery, triumph and disappointment, and one dream that remained just beyond his reach: winning the Kentucky Derby. Nearly sixteen years later, those words reveal something more—lessons about second chances, perseverance, family, and what one life can leave behind.
With reflections by Pam and Amanda Gomez.
Preorder Garrett's Gift — a life remembered, a legacy passed forward.
