Julie Krone, 45
Chris McCarron; 53
Gary Stevens, 45
Jacinto Vasquez, 64.

This just doesn't sound like a good idea for some reason

Too bad Earlie just retired yesterday....right GBB

LOL! :D

What are the odds one of them gets the "itch" and comes back to ride part time???

Jacinto Vasquez :eek: :eek: He needs to See Jenny Craig real Quick I see him alot here in Ocala Especially playing Golf he's going to have to lose a few pounds.

>>>The “Living Legends Race” will offer pari-mutuel wagering, and will be run at a sprint distance. The riders’ mounts will be California-breds, selected by a draw. Each runner will carry 126 pounds.<<<

LOL

I hope the clerk of scales has been granted immunity....

No Chantal?????

Well most of those guys (and girl) are pretty small anyway. I don't think it'd be that hard to get to 126 lbs. Should be no problem for Julie Krone anyway.

Jerry Bailey all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bailey and Stevens box

lol I think I'll look at the horses PPs first

I was hanging with Laffit at The Taste of Arcadia event and he is saying he thinks Krone wins it , coming from the master , I think he could be right . He looks awesome , a perfect athlete still , weighs 130 but totally fit not an ounce of fat anywhere. Julie was working some horses for us at Del Mar and I must say she hasnt lost her touch at all , still like melted butter on a horse , may be rusty but she still has it . I gotta say that my favorite jock of all time and not dissing Laffit in anyway , has always been Angel , as a kid I aspired to be like him and I really hope he wins it . Cant wait to see it all unfold Gary has been working horses for us too but he doesnt seem to have that tigers eye but who knows , I just know it will be exciting to them all compete again.

This could be fun, but I'll take this opportunity to once more say I've NEVER forgiven Cordero for his ride on Codex to intentionally take out Genuine Risk in the 1980 Preakness.

Hey, it's only been 28 years. Give me some time to get over it.

I'll also take the opportunity to point out that obvious that Bailey, Krone, McCarron and Stevens are younger and much younger than 54 year old Bill Shoemaker when he won the 1986 Kentucky Derby aboard Ferdinand.

I've heard that if any rider is more than 7 lbs overweight - they will be replaced with ....

Is there a limit to how overweight they can be? Honestly unless they ride the same horse, it will come down to the best horse not jockey.

They can be 5 lbs. over.

More Cordero memories. How can anyone ever forget when he lost his irons on Our Homeboy out of the gate at Saratoga. I think it was a mile and an eigth race and his legs where hanging down the entire race and he actually had the lead at the top of the stretch and he was whipping and driving. At that time it was the funniest thing I had ever seen in my life. I think it was late 80s when this happened.

Julie Krone and Gary Stevens make a comeback after the race.
