What a great humble jockey. Congratulations!!
Quite the ride. One for the history books. Forever on the highlight reel.
Praise God! A dream deserved.
I learned about Jose and his older brother and 2nd place finisher, Irad, Jr. Jose and his brother deserve everything they've achieved at 32 and 33 y.o., respectively. Their dedication, including staying at a specified weight of 106-110 lbs, is crazy!
FELICIDADES CAMPEÓN 🎩🏆🥂❤❤❤❤❤ GRANDE MUY GRANDE PUERTO RICO!!! 🇵🇷
