Jockey Nick Turns Trainer After Weight Issue
Former jockey Nick Combest weighs 127 pounds at Jamaica Race Track in New York, joking that training lets him eat without weight worry. He cites a past fall at Woodbine and a knee issue as reasons for switching from riding to training four horses for Don Hobe, including Star of Persia and Fighting Ike. Combest recalls a nine year riding career across major tracks in New York, Florida and California and says the difference between riding and training is minimal when horses are good.
