JOCKEY TO RIDE WITH IMG

Seven-time Jockey of the Year and Thoroughbred jockey Hall of Famer Jerry Bailey has signed with IMG.

The deal sees the sports and lifestyle management and marketing firm take on exclusive representation in broadcasting and marketing.

Bailey, still an active jockey, was inducted into the Racing Hall of Fame in 1995. In 2001, he became the first rider to pass the $20 million mark in career earnings.

“Jerry has always had an interest in broadcasting and other sports-related areas," explains Sandy Montag, senior vice president, IMG.

“While this expanded representation does not signal his imminent retirement, it is not too soon to learn about opportunities that can be available for Jerry's unparalled talents, experience and knowledge.”
