Jerry D. Bailey (born August 29, 1957 in Dallas, Texas) is an NBC Sports thoroughbred racing analyst and a retired American Hall of Fame jockey.
Regarded as one of the world's all-time greatest jockeys, Bailey's mounts won 5,893 races and $296 million during a 31-year riding career. At the time of his retirement in January 2006, he ranked No. 2 on the career North American money list and still ranks No. 3. He won each Triple Crown race twice (his winning Kentucky Derby rides through traffic on Sea Hero in 1993 and Grindstone in 1996 are considered two of the best in modern Derby history); scored a record five wins in the Breeders' Cup Classic, the richest race in the U.S.; notched a record four victories in the Dubai World Cup, the world's richest race; and is the only jockey ever to win America's Eclipse Award for Outstanding Jockey seven times, including an unprecedented four straight years (2000-2003).
