Gary Lynn Stevens, born on 6 March 1963 in Caldwell, Idaho, is an American Thoroughbred horse racing jockey, actor and sports analyst. He turned professional in 1979, rode his first Kentucky Derby winner in 1988 on Winning Colors, and had nine wins in Triple Crown races, taking the Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes three times each, along with the Breeders' Cup on eleven occasions. He entered the United States Racing Hall of Fame in 1997. Repeated knee, hip and neck injuries led him to retire and return several times, and he played a role in the film Seabiscuit before his final retirement in 2018.
