Default Shane Sellers.. Mark Guidry.. Abby Fuller.. Julie Krone.. Robbie Davis..

Slowly but surely, it seems EVERYBODY is coming back. Been very little said or written about Guidry and Fuller, and now speculation is rampant about Krone after the race Wednesday. Davis is close to riding with his knee feeling great.

I love Guidry but he wasn't letting much run anymore when he quit.
Abby Fuller...if it wasn't for Mom's Command would anyone even remember her career?
Julie needs to stay retired.
I'm rooting for Robbie but the NYRA he is returning to isn't the one he left. A lot more cheap horses and a few trainers controlling the vast majority of the good horses that may not be inclined to use a 50 year old guy off of a 10 year layoff.

If he comes back does Leperioux have to retire? They both torture me, if they were riding at the same time I would have to stop playing the races.

DrugS will want to expand the poll choices to include some obscure 19th Century American riders.

Shane Sellers has been at it for a good while now, but he isnt making that much noise where is riding.

Only realistic jockey on the poll that could come back would be Gary Stevens, if they can do something about the knees, I could see him making one more comeback and riding for another 5-6 years tops only the knees hold up.

It would make sense if Jerry Bailey came back. He is less than 1 million dollars in earnings to pass Pat Day as the all-time money earner as a jockey. Pat Day did have 3000 more wins than Bailey. I never understood why Bailey chose the Sunshine Millions as his last day as a jockey. He was a fantastic rider.
