radishcake August 26, 2015 Share August 26, 2015 VICTOR ESPINOZA After coming close twice, jockey Victor Espinoza earned the famous Triple Crown earlier this year, winning the Kentucky Derby, The Preakness and The Belmont Stakes aboard speedy American Pharoah. It was the first time in 37 years the feat had been accomplished. The first Hispanic jockey to ever win the Triple Crown, Espinoza has won over 3000 races in his career and donates 10% of his weekly winnings to The City of Hope for childhood cancer research.

legaleagle53 September 2, 2015 Share September 2, 2015 To some degree, he reminds me of Helio Castroneves. I hope he's at least as entertaining. Link to comment

St. Claire September 16, 2015 Share September 16, 2015 I like Espinoza from his interviews in conjunction with the Triple Crown (and I love this charitable tendencies), but that dance on Monday was just...quite ungood. Bless his heart for trying, but he is just not destined to last long. I hope he appears in the audience and such after he gets booted, because he does seem like a really good guy, just not a good dancer. Link to comment
Rigoletto22 September 17, 2015 Share September 17, 2015 Jockeys are so athletic. WHat they do is insane, you have to be fit as hell with balls of steel. He didn't seem so athletic to me though. I guess I was expecting more. Lol. Love him though! Link to comment
mtlchick September 23, 2015 Share September 23, 2015 Victor is someone I want to put in my pocket. And I bet most men are suddenly jealous they are not his height. Link to comment
GreekGeek September 24, 2015 Share September 24, 2015 I was sad to see Victor go Tuesday night. He was such fun to watch, even if his dancing wasn't particularly good. Link to comment
Kindred Spirit October 31, 2015 Share October 31, 2015 I'm being silly, since I'm sure he'll never see this post, but congratulations to Victor for riding American Pharaoh to victory in the Breeders' Cup! They're calling it the Grand Slam of horse racing, and Victor and American Pharaoh are the first to ever achieve it. Amazing! (Everybody drink!) 6 Link to comment
Lonesome Rhodes November 1, 2015 Share November 1, 2015 CAI deducted a point for when Victor lifted at the wire, but Bruno gave Victor an extra five points for that whip action. Then BT fainted. 2 Link to comment
