Hall of Fame jockey Gary Stevens has changed agents from Mike Ciani to former trainer Jason Orman. Orman, 48, conditioned MGISW Rock Hard Ten (Kris S.) to a runner-up finish in the 2004 GI Preakness S.

“[Ciani] did a great job for me, we had a great Santa Anita meet, but Jason and I have been friends for a long time and this is something we've talked about, so we're moving on right now,” Stevens said.

While Orman has experienced a variety of other jobs in the industry, this is his first as an agent.

“Gary had asked me a couple times if I wanted to be his agent and three or four days ago he asked me to come down here and I said OK, it'll be something new,” Orman said.
