Starting in early 2006, Anderson had the book of Gomez throughout the pinnacle of his riding success, as the Tucson native reeled off a streak of four consecutive years atop the nationwide earnings list and earned Eclipse Outstanding Jockey awards in 2007 and 2008. Gomez also finished fourth in purse money earned in 2010, a little over $1.2 million behind leader Ramon Dominguez, despite riding 674 fewer races than Dominguez that year.
