LIVING LEGENDS Race 2008

Sandy Hawley may have won the Living Legends race on Tribal Chief against seven fellow Hall of Fame former riders, but nobody had more fun than Julie Krone and Chris McCarron.

"I want to do this again," Krone said shortly after finishing fifth on Major Smoke.

McCarron said the Living Legends race re-ignited his passion for riding the way competing in other celebrity races never has.

"That was such a blast," said McCarron. His mount, Waafi, bled and finished next to last, but that didn't bother McCarron. "I beat (Angel) Cordero. That was my only goal."

Fans lined up earlier in the day to get autographs from the eight riders—Hawley, Krone, McCarron, Cordero, Jerry Bailey, Gary Stevens, Pat Day, and Jacinto Vasquez—and the three Hall of Fame ambassadors—Laffit Pincay Jr., Eddie Delahoussaye, and Jorge Velasquez. The day even brought out racing's newest Hall of Fame jockey member, as Milo Valenzuela joined the others in the winner's circle.
