I assumed this thread was about a Pgarden post.

I can't wait to hear about the best horse(s) he ever trained, especially since we heard about the 25 or 30 best he ever rode.

Is Gary Stevens a horse racing villain or something? Other than him being a Hall of Fame jockey, a really handsome dwarf, and riding Seabiscuit in a match race against War Admiral in the movies, I have to admit I don't know much about the man.

Fill this rookie in. Dish, dish, dish...

He was just a real ass clown on TVG with his constant hyperbole and exclamations regarding the best horse he ever rode. At various times I think I heard him say Winning Colors, Point Given, Silver Charm, and War Chant.

I was surprised to hear that he is a smoker. I wonder if he often enjoyed the Curt Bourque-esque paddock smoke before a race.

I think most jockeys smoke to tell you the truth. between races at Portland Meadows, since you can't smoke inside in Oregon, the outside of the jocks room looks like a 5 minute break at a French University.

That being said, i got to chat with Gary while he was in Portland this past season for quite a while, and he couldnt have been nicer not just to me, but to everyone who came up to him at PM.

What's wrong with Stevens? He's less of an ass on TV than Bailey.

I don't see a problem with either one of them. They are two of the greatest jockeys ever.
