Longden to Visit England ARCADIA, Calif., June 9.— Jockey Longden is planning to visit his birthplace, Wakefield, England. He and his wife have booked passage on the Queen Mary in September, following his assignments at the present Hollywood Park and the coming Del Mar meetings. The only jockey to ride more winners than Longden is Englands Gordon Richards. Both of them have passed the 3,000-mark. Asked if he would ride against Richards, Longden said: "This is going to be a real vacation, but I hope to see him. » Hes a great rider."
