Stevens Honored

Gary Stevens, who just missed joining the ranks of Triple Crown-winning riders this year, became a member of another exclusive group: Hall of Fame jockeys.

Stevens, the 34-year-old Idaho native who rode Silver Charm to victory in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness before losing to Touch Gold in the Belmont, was inducted into the National Racing Hall of Fame.

Also inducted were trainer Philip G. Johnson, male thoroughbred Easy Goer, female thoroughbred Bold ‘n Determined, and Granville, in the horse of yesteryear category.
