	Book Review - The Perfect Ride
		Jockey Gary Stevens has been a household name in the sport of Thoroughbred racing ever since he broke into the spotlight in the mid 1980's.
		But beyond these problems typical to many jockeys, he also suffered a near-bankruptcy at the hands of his business manager, a messy divorce from his first wife keeping him away from his children and further draining his resources, and grief over the death of his friend Chris Antley.
		Stevens (with co-author Mervyn Kaufman) avoided a monotonous chronological narrative.

		Stevens went on to ride 4,512 winners in his 20-year career and his mounts earned a total of $187 million.

		During his career, Stevens, 35, has suffered a torn rotator cuff, a broken ankle, severe knee problems resulting in three surgeries, a serious head injury and a shattered right wrist, now held in place by six screws.
		Stevens has stayed in the winner's circle by being an intensely competitive perfectionist with an uncanny nose for the finish line.
		Stevens has come a long way for a guy who in his younger days was known to jump into the stands and mix it up with hecklers.

		But jockey Gary Stevens never had any intention of wrapping up on the horse, who was the 5-2 morning line favorite but was once as high as 17-1 before going off at 5-1.
		Stevens, enjoying his greatest year as a jockey, kept the Louisiana-bred clear of horses on the outside, angled to the inside leaving the three-eighths pole as he began to pick up his field, then was four-wide through the stretch, but suddenly, only three horses were in front of him.
		Stevens, who expresses himself in as coherent a verbal form as any jockey ever, gave a stride-by-stride account of the unlikely victory.

		Gary had been "reducing" (attempting to peel off a few pounds in order to make weight) earlier in the day, dedicating some time to the sauna in the jockeys' room.
		Gary had been riding in cooler weather and higher weights in France, and reports from The Daily Racing Form are indicating the culprit was dehydration.
		I returned to the jockey room and requested a doctor and a glass of water, I was refused sent to the stewards and given a 20 day ban by the stewards at the request of the trainer who obviously had no concern for horse, jockey, owner or betting public.
