SANTA ANITA - Saturday, January 5, 2013


It has just been announced that Gary Stevens, one of my all time favorite jockeys, will be making a comeback starting tomorrow.  After seven years of retirement, and a second career as an actor and superb race analyst, I don’t think this is a good idea at almost 50 years of age.  Nevertheless, I wish him nothing but the best. Good luck today!
