Lost And Found Presented By LubriSynHA: Pickleball Replaces Ponies For Former Jockey Lively Sponsored by: Pat was very supportive the whole time whatever I wanted to do, whatever ever I wanted to try, she was there, said former jockey John Lively.
Nearly three decades after riding in his final race, John Lively is still competitive, still athletic and still enjoying camaraderie. Instead of the racetrack, he and his wife Pat have found those same elements in playing pickleball, a hybrid of tennis, table tennis, and badminton.
“We play two, three, sometimes four hours a day,” he said. “We feel that it is good for our health to stay active and fit. It is fun and we enjoy meeting other people. It is very big in Florida and Arizona where we used to spend the winters and it is getting bigger all the time.”
