Jockey E. Gracida Returns To His Mexico City Home CENTENNIAL RACE TRACK, Littleton, Colo., Aug. 25. "Back to my home below the Rio Bravo," could be the theme song of Mexican jpckey, Enrique Gracida. Gracida leaves Littleton, Colorados Centennial Race Track, after a successful months riding, which included bringing in last Thurs days long shot, Fair Diver. The underrated hores paid 21.60 to the few fans who figured it to win. Jockey Gracida returns to his home in Mexico City because of previous commitments with the Mexican Army in which he holds the rank of lieutenant. Hard riding Enrique is not the only member of his family famous for horsemanship. Five brothers make up the championship polo team of the world which is scheduled to meet the American team in match play at Chicago early in September.
