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...

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!

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.

Wayne Catalano rode and has been successful as a trainer.

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

U r correctamundo There are alot of jocks that have made the transition to trainer and have had good results , my friend Sandi Gann the only girl to ever be leading rider at Turf Paradise is 6th on the win standings there. I know its not an A list track but good on her non the less.
