Del Mar used to run the 'Rocking Chair Derby' for retired jockeys, referring to the rocking chair on the porch where old folks were used to sit a lot of the time before air conditioning. California-based jocks usually.

Not sure how any of them will be in shape for something like that.. but will enjoy watching it . Perhaps it will be something like 4 furlongs...

What is one of the Jockeys break down? I already see an inquiry and three objections.

I talked to Pat Day about this yesterday at AP. He wont have any issues with the weight. I have no idea how Vasquez is going to get close to 126.

I was just thinking that old fans don't really need this to go to the track
the track needs young & old fans and this is a better idea

They should just come back. Bailey could probably be top jock out west.
