Jockey Gary Stevens came out of retirement to capture three wins on the card. In the first Gary scored on Chilukki in the Grade II Churchill Downs Distaff Handicap. Gary then won the second on Meetyouathebrig. Later Gary would capture the Breeders' Cup Mile on favored War Chant. Not a bad day for someone coming out of retirement. |
