As part of the festivities leading up to the Arlington Million, five retired jockey greats will return to the saddle for one race and square off against five of the top riders in the Arlington Park standings in the "Arlington Fab 5" vs. "Legends" turf race complete with pari-mutuel wagering to be held on Friday, one day before the 30th running of the Arlington Million.
Slated to take a one-day break from retirement are Hall of Fame jockey Earlie Fires; Patti Cooksey, who has been participating in similar Legends races the last few seasons; former Arlington Park mainstay and now HRTV broadcaster Zoe Cadman, former Eclipse Award winning rider Frank Lovato Jr.; and Midwestern mainstay Larry Melancon.

Three Chimneys presents Good News Friday: A Home for Jockey Dreams
by Scott Jagow | 07.13.2012 | 9:53am
When Big Brown made his Triple Crown bid in 2008, 13-year-old Kayla Jarvinen followed every moment, watching on TV with her family. She couldn't stop thinking one thing.
I want to be a jockey.
Kids want to be lots of things when they grow up, but Kayla was serious.
"I don't think my parents thought much of it at the time," she said. "But I haven't stopped talking about it for the past four years."
So how does a teenager with no riding experience and whose family has no equine or racing connections follow such a dream? Read the whole story here!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hall of Fame Jockey Julie Krone to join Frankie Lovato in the 4th Annual Jockey Camp
Norwalk Ohio – Jockey World Inc. is pleased to announce that legendary jockey Julie Krone will be assisting founder and executive director Frankie Lovato Jr. at the 4th annual Jockey Camp to be held July 27-29, in Norwalk, Ohio.
Jockey Camp is an annual three-day event that offers an introductory course employing “virtual training” in the fundamentals of Thoroughbred racing. While no actual horses are used, Jockey Camp campers keep busy with an agenda of more than 24 activities and lessons in a variety of settings, including time spent aboard the famous Equicizer horse simulator, a scale-model racetrack complete with markers, chutes and gaps, and entertaining classroom presentations.
“This is a great opportunity for me to share what I know about racing, and what better setting than Frankie’s Jockey Camp and his eager bunch of campers,” said Krone, a member of the Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame class of 2000.
It is the goal of Jockey Camp to offer a fun and information-filled window into the horse racing industry, particularly for those who hope to pursue a career as a jockey or exercise rider.
"Although the average student is around 18, we accept and review applications for all ages. It’s really a great learning experience for anyone!" said Lovato.
Prospective campers should apply early since there is a selection process for the limited number of camper reservations available. Sponsorship opportunities and packages are available for campers who wish to apply for financial assistance.
For more information and details about applying for the 4th Annual Jockey Camp, please visit the Jockey Camp home page at: www.jockeycamp.com

THE word legend is often applied to those who don't truly deserve the epithet, but a genuine living legend claimed the second Leger Legends race as Julie Krone - the most successful female jockey of all time - romped to victory on Invincible Hero.
Krone racked up 3,704 winners in a stunning career in the United States and turned down an offer to star in reality TV show Survivor in order to ride in this year's race - and notch her 3,705th career win.
