I feel like I'm in a parallel universe.

Spoken like a true pro. If anyone would know about "being a amature," I'd have some guesses as to where to start.

The money spent on the dvd would be better spent on strippers.

A better idea would be to donate it to the Schenectady public school system.

im 22 years old and have been following horses since i was 15, jerry bailey is by far the best jockey i have ever seen, thats what made me buy it, and i watched it only once, but i felt like i learned from it.

I finally figured out who you remind me of.



It all makes "sence" now.

LOL, Its a good place if you like butt stains. A group of friends went there for a bachelor party. As we were walking out the bachelor noticed a brown streak on his shirt.

I believe this, along with the fact that not any of us are in the position to know what Jerry Bailey has done with a single dime of his income, his wealth.

Anonymity, void of the praise and view of others can be a tremendous gift. And it is often one's choice.

Bailey lives a couple miles from me. I've seen him several times at Home Depot; one week I saw him there two or three straight days. I was buying concrete; he was getting lumber. Talked to him once; a very nice guy. When I told him I bet against Silver Wagon (his last ride), he laughed and said he's never met anyone who bet ON the horse. Blue jeans, t-shirt, ballcap, pickup truck. Seemed like a regular guy. I'm glad he's doing well for himself.

Probably why he laughed at me.

Best signature ever. So far.

I have no problem with Bailey making a living, like any retired athlete he has to find a new career. I can't see at all what's wrong with becoming an analyst.

I, too, have been curious about the DVDs, but it just seems a bit much money to me. Especially after what I spend on books.

Look, the man explains the game well - which a pretty good contribution to the sport, in my eyes. Why not do a DVD? And I do believe he is quite deserving of that Emmy nomination.

Okay, last summer at Saratoga, he's at a table signing his DVD, his book, any piece of paper a person shoves in front of him. As I'm walking by, a woman heads toward the table. The guard says, "The line forms here." There was no line, BTW, but she dutifully goes to the spot and then approaches the table. Bailey signs a piece of paper for her while she's looking him over. She looks at the signature, looks at him, asks, "Who are you?" (Cut to me, trying not to laugh.) Bailey looks momentarily startled, says, "Just ask around. I think you'll find out." I admit, I couldn't resist, move a few steps closer, and loudly ask him if he's going to be on the ESPN broadcast later that afternoon.

That's it, my Jerry Bailey story.
