Bailey Preps for Retirement
So reports Bill Finley, who writes that jockey Jerry Bailey “is close to reaching an agreement with ESPN and ABC to work as an analyst on racing telecasts for both networks when he does retire.” Bailey denied that he’d reached any deals and said that he would be riding at Gulfstream when it opens on January 4. “I’m going to start riding at Gulfstream,” Bailey said. “I don’t know how long it’s going to last.”
