15 years old with dreams of becoming a jockey… of dreams of being a part of this thing we call The Sport of Kings
Jockey's License
My first race ever… 1977 at Aqueduct Racecourse on Winterwalk! It was 15 freezing degree’s that day, not to mention I was riding with several fractured ribs from a bad spill early that same morning
Aqueduct. First race.
My first race and first time seeing my name in the Aqueduct program… riding next to Ron Turcotte, who rode Secretariat. Even though I was to make 107 Ibs., I was four pounds overweight
In the same race as my mentor Robert A. Pineda. Summer of 1977 at Delaware Park Racetrack
