Queen's Plate winning jockey Steve Bahen hangs it up after 37 hard-working years via Beezersun
Bahen said his wife finally urged him to have the “sore” neck looked at, which he did, and renowned sports physician Dr. Anthony Galea sent him for a scan which revealed various breaks.After 37 years of racing, Bahen has decided that it’s time to hang up his tack, though he’ll continue to work at the backstretch with his longtime partner, trainer Rachel Halden.
Born in Montreal and raised close to Woodbine in Malton, Bahen started racing at the Etobicoke track in 1986 and recorded his first win on July 9 of that year aboard Michellerin for Stoney Brook Stables and trainer Mike Wright.Article content “There were no gimmes for Steve,” added Raymond, who remembers Bahen showing up first thing in the morning at the Woodbine backstretch the day after winning on TJ’s Lucky Moon, despite the Queen’s Plate party breaking up around 3 a.m. “He had to work hard for everything he did.”Article content
