 Stevens is back for a treat on Halloween
By Mark Patrick Harzynski Sr
 
This Halloween Gary Stevens will be the Bionic Man this Halloween as he is set to return to horse racing the sport he loves. Gary now 51 , makes yet another appearance back to racing . After two retirements , and most recently a full knee replacement . Gary had the knee replaced just 14 weeks ago , matter of factly Halloween  October 31 the day of his re, re return  to racing will be exactly 14 weeks to the day. And thats not just any day that's the day the Breeders Crown starts. Friday October 31-November 1 the richest two days of horse racing , and Gary makes a miraculous return. Gary tells me he has a great supporting cast at home his beautiful daughter Madison and his lovely wife Angie. And what keeps him coming back is his competivness and his absoulte love for this sport. Gary simply loves what he does , riding race horse's. And quite well , very well Gary is a living horse racing hall of famer , a multiple triple crown race winner 9 actually a trifecta of sorts 3 derbys 3 preakness and 3 belmonts , a espy and eclipse award winner , Gary has rocked his talent all over the world winning and racing in Japan , England and Dubai , starred in a movie Seabiscut and been on television on HBO on the series Luck as well doing some great  horse racing coverage  and commentary on  HRTV and NBC.. And 10 Breeders Crown victories going for 11 this Friday at Historic Santa Anita  Racetrack in Arcadia California.   Gary will be reunited with Trainer Chad Brown and owner Martin Schwartz , in the Grade I Juvenile Filly on the turf aboard Sivoliere . I also asked Gary how he felt and  he said excellent sure a little sore and still technically rehabing  but ,, he is riding horses non competivile , and said that  he wouldn't even think about doing this unless he could race at the highest level and knows and feels like the band is back together and he's ready to rock. Gary's doctor , Dr. Yun did a full knee replacement on Stevens,  Gary said Dr. Yun ,did an awesome job , and I'm feeling great . Being hampered by knee problems most of his career , all that behind him will see Gary next at Santa Anita in just 4 days. Maybe Gary will be adding another breeders crown trophy to his mantle this week and/or maybe in 2015 a Triple Crown  sweep , a feet not accomplished since the 70's, I can't think of anyone now racing more deserving than Gary Stevens.
