I didn't realize they are such close friends.

I believe we had a thread like that on the old board. The guys contributed Kayla Stra ;) and of course Chantal.

Seriously though, Mike Smith and Gary Stevens make me feel not-as-bad to be over 50. It amazes me that their knees are still functioning considering the jarring and the position in which they sit during races.

Also liked the article. As to knees and the position in which they sit during races, they're not really sitting. They whip forward and back with the horse's motion, from an imaginary axis between their knees. Maybe somebody else can come up with a better description.

Poor Gary, he's riding race 6 right now but got kicked in the stomach by his mount (Global View) right before he got a leg up in the paddock. Hope he's ok!

Edit: And of course he wins on Global View. Kicked in the stomach? No problem!
