Legendary Bailey to hang up riding boots

HALL OF FAME jockey Jerry Bailey is set to hang up his boots for the last time at Gulfstream Park on Saturday week.

“I still enjoy competing in the biggest races, on the biggest horses, on the biggest days. But to get to those days, there are a lot of routine days. Those are the days I no longer look forward to,” he said. “That’s where I didn’t feel it.”

Bailey is scheduled to sign off in three of four stakes races on the Sunshine Millions card at Gulfstream Park in Florida.
