	LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Hey, hey, he's a Monkee, and people say
he's ``horsing around.'' The former teen-age heartthrob really goes
for Churchill Downs.
	Davy Jones, the 49-year-old former front man for The Monkees --
tuned up the 3-year-old filly Love Dancing for trainer Burk
Kessinger on Friday.
	``It's a thrill,'' the 5-foot-4, 128-pound Jones said. ``It's
always been in my blood to do this kind of thing.''
	Jones, in Louisville performing in ``Grease!'', is no stranger
to horses. He held an amateur steeplechase jockey's license in his
native England for years and says he'd like to train race horses
someday.
