He had been away from racing for three years after the leg injury and the deaths of his father and sister. Cohen returned to the irons in late 2017 and rode six races. In 2018, he finished third in the standings at Oaklawn Park and continued his success at the Arkansas track in 2019, finishing as the meet’s wins leader with 75.
