Gary Stevens Returns to the Derby
 

Nice article on Gary Stevens' comeback.

No Finish Line - Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens returns to the track.

I wish my Mom was around to see this. Gary, Pat and Jerry were her favorites and she always picked one of the horses they were on :)

The good news is that its great to see Gary back in the saddle again. The bad news is we have to have to listen the 2nd stringer Jerry Baily on the NBC broadcast. Some of comments are bizarre at times. But I did read that will be doing some spots on the show.

Nice article with an interview with Gary Stevens.

“I’m wise enough to know that I’ve seen a lot of good riders throughout the country never get these sorts of opportunities. Sometimes when they are given the opportunity things don’t go well, and you have to capitalise when the opportunities come. I was able to do that last year, and that comes with the comfort zone of being happy with what I’m doing.”
