Jerry Bailey's Last Breeders Cup?

It was a fun day to watch the races yesterday out at Belmont park. It was all good except for the horse that broke his legs while running on the turf course. Some days that course is just a little to wet to be run on though that might not have been the case today.

We may have seen one of the greatest jockeys of all time in his last Breeders Cup as Jerry Bailey may retire at the end of the year. I am glad to say I have seen him ride for many years and he always gave 100%. Thanks Jerry!

There are few riders that have been able to have as much success as Jerry has. Is it the high quality horses he gets to ride or is it skill? We have to say skill. Jerry does not ride the $10,000 optional claimer races nor should he. That is where you get hurt. Jerry has one of the best clocks in his head that a jockey needs to set up a race in his mind and then go out and do it. That is if the horse feels like running that day of course.

Thanks Jerry for some wonderful years if you do decide to retire.
