Hall of Fame Jockeys at Suffolk Downs on Wednesday
BOSTON, MA (September 29, 2008) - Legendary Hall of Fame jockeys Pat Day, Angel Cordero, Jr. and Laffit Pincay, Jr. will appear at Suffolk Downs on October 1, 2008 from 12:30-4:30 PM to kickoff an 11-city Breeders’ Cup Legends Tour that culminates with a Legends Race on October 18 at Santa Anita Racetrack and to celebrate the upcoming 25th running of the Breeders’ Cup World Championships, the most prestigious global event in Thoroughbred racing.
