Jockey Tyler Baze will return to ride full-time at Santa Anita beginning May 12, agent Brandon O'Bryan reported this week.
Baze has spent this past winter and early spring riding at Oaklawn Park. The Oaklawn meet in Hot Springs, Ark. ends May 6.
O'Bryan will once again handle Baze's book at Santa Anita. They previously worked together at Oaklawn Park in 2020, but the relationship was upended due to COVID when Baze moved his tack to Churchill Downs and agents were not allowed on the grounds, O'Bryan said.
When he returns to Santa Anita, Baze will look to get things back on track following what's been a lean meet at Oaklawn Park. Entering Friday, Baze had just seven wins from 125 mounts (6 percent) at Oaklawn.
Baze, 40, was North America's outstanding apprentice jockey in 2000. A longtime stalwart on the Southern California circuit, he has ridden 2,888 winners in his career and banked more than $132 million in purse earnings.
