>>>The “Living Legends Race” will offer pari-mutuel wagering, and will be run at a sprint distance. The riders’ mounts will be California-breds, selected by a draw. Each runner will carry 126 pounds.<<<

I've heard that if any rider is more than 7 lbs overweight - they will be replaced with ....

Is there a limit to how overweight they can be? Honestly unless they ride the same horse, it will come down to the best horse not jockey.

More Cordero memories. How can anyone ever forget when he lost his irons on Our Homeboy out of the gate at Saratoga. I think it was a mile and an eigth race and his legs where hanging down the entire race and he actually had the lead at the top of the stretch and he was whipping and driving. At that time it was the funniest thing I had ever seen in my life. I think it was late 80s when this happened.

This could be fun, but I'll take this opportunity to once more say I've NEVER forgiven Cordero for his ride on Codex to intentionally take out Genuine Risk in the 1980 Preakness.

Hey, it's only been 28 years. Give me some time to get over it.
