10th Anniversary Memorial Edition E-Book

Includes over 100 pages of new reflections and previously unpublished material written for the 10th Anniversary Memorial Edition.

Hall of Fame jockey Garrett Gomez was one of the most gifted Thoroughbred riders of his generation. Winner of 3,769 races, thirteen Breeders' Cup victories, four consecutive North American money titles, and two Eclipse Awards, Garrett reached the pinnacle of horse racing through extraordinary talent, determination, and courage.

Yet behind the winner's circle was another battle.

Written in close collaboration with Garrett himself, The Garrett Gomez Story is an unflinching account of addiction, recovery, redemption, family, and the relentless pursuit of hope. Garrett insisted that every part of his life be told honestly—not only the triumphs that made him a champion, but also the struggles that nearly destroyed him. His belief was simple: if his story could help even one person facing addiction, then telling the truth would be worth it.

This 10th Anniversary Memorial Edition preserves the original biography exactly as Garrett and author Dr. Rodolfo Alvarado completed it together, while adding more than a decade of reflection through exclusive new material, including:

• Ten Years On, I Still See Garrett Ride
• The Final Turn
• Garrett's Gift
• Still Standing

Together, these new writings examine Garrett's final years, the enduring lessons of his life, and the remarkable legacy he continues to leave within horse racing and beyond.

More than a biography, this is a story of friendship, second chances, and the enduring power of honesty.

Whether you are a lifelong racing fan, someone whose family has been touched by addiction, or simply a reader who believes in redemption, Garrett's story remains as timely and inspiring today as when it was first told.
