"Cruguet listed to ride in allowance
The initial plan was for Jean Cruguet to come out of retirement with a one-race comeback on April 27 at Keeneland, but when the overnight sheet for Thursday came out, there was Cruguet named to ride Ratoath Special in the seventh race, a $54,000, first-level allowance at six furlongs.
Cruguet, 72, will forever be known for sweeping the 1977 Triple Crown aboard Seattle Slew. He has not ridden competitively since 1996 but said he spent the winter getting fit by riding horses in Ocala, Fla.
Cruguet is dedicating the race to his late wife Denyse and is donating all earnings to the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund of the Jockeys’ Guild".
