ARCADIA, Calif. – Jockey Martin Garcia will soon resume riding in California after spending most of the last four months riding in New York. Garcia, 33, may ride at Santa Anita as early as Thursday, his new agent, Vince DeGregory, told Santa Anita publicity. Garcia has been closely allied with trainer Bob Baffert in recent years. Last year, Garcia was the regular rider of the Baffert-trained Collected, who won four consecutive stakes, including the Grade 1 Pacific Classic at Del Mar, before finishing second to eventual Horse of the Year Gun Runner in the Breeders’ Cup Classic at Del Mar in November. Garcia left for New York in the days after the Breeders’ Cup. Through Thursday, Garcia had 12 wins at Aqueduct since early November, including the Rego Park Stakes on Feb. 11 aboard Battle Station.
