Stevens will be at Oaklawn this year. David Cohen coming back to racing this year and riding at Oaklawn.
I agree, the Calif. colony is surviving on oldsters, but I'm sure some new talented young jockeys will be coming into racing every year. Its sad to watch our favorites retire, but exciting to see the up-and-coming ones.
As for Maragh , never was a fan. Just doesn't do anything for me, and seems to go wide too often. But I wish him the best of luck.
