I have a feeling he will do a good job, the obvious thing is he can work the horse the way he wants hands on, and really it wouldn't be that unusual for a Jockey to make the switch to Trainer successfully, Ie. freddie Head.

Are there any other long-time jockeys that have had much success as trainers?

Only one I can think of is Cash Asmussen and he doesn't really fall into that category.

Not many of the high profile variety I would guess. I read somewhere Bob Baffert was a rider at one point though it was the 1/4 horse variety. Up until now I can only think of Freddy Head as one of the more prominant one's. I'm sure there are some less famous riders, I'll have to dig a little further...

Eddie Arcaro rode a Derby winner and trained one.

Pat Eddery won the Gr. 1 Grand Criterium as a Trainer this year, yeah I looked that one up...but I did know he was Training overseas.

[Indian Charlie]

This move can't be as bad as Wolfson to Tagg.

At least Stevens will have all of the miracles of modern medicine at his disposal!

[Roc525]

Wayne Catalano rode and has been successful as a trainer.

Ranked as North America’s second-leading rider by wins in 1977.

Larry Jones.

Whatever happened to Gary Boulanger...Good to hear he's back in the biz.

The Jacksons sold Frolic's Dream last week at Keeneland for $320,000. I bet they paid a whole lot more for her.

No doubt!

Hopefully her previous connections bought her back. They can win the BC filly/mare sprint with her next year.

Why has it been moved to Gulfstream?

[Gaelic Storm]

Wesley Ward was a jockey. I think a few started out as Jump riders Shepherd and Schulhoffer to name 2. Cordero won a stake with Holy Mountian.

[Diver67]

John Longden trained Derby/Preakness winner Majestic Prince.

I recall after the BC Freddie Head talking about riding and training a great horse.

[Linny]

Steve Asmussen rode races too. Freddie Head in France rode Miesque to 2 BC Mile wins and trained Goldikova to the same.

stevens got a gift.. i could train /spot this one to win..
