Mark Guidry Transitions from Jockey to Trainer In an ultra-successful riding career, it’s doubtful that Mark Guidry the jockey ever went six months between wins. But Mark Guidry the trainer did exactly that. Six months to the day after saddling his first horse as a trainer – and winning, Guidry, 49, returned to the winner’s circle in Sunday’s 10th race at Fair Grounds when Harry Lee Patin’s Bumda Que Brilha was awarded the win via disqualification. The original plan for Guidry upon retirement was to pursue a career as a steward, but it hasn’t panned out yet, Guidry said, so he’s taken to training. “I’ve got 13 head, mostly for Harry Lee, Larry Bell and Kenny Desormeaux,” said Guidry.
