Fellow 2017 inductees Javier Castellano, Garrett Gomez, Victor Espinoza, and equine star Goldikova took their place in the Hall of Fame with Pillars of the Turf John Gaines, Ogden "Dinny" Phipps, and Col. Matt Winn.
With Kentucky Derby wins aboard War Emblem, California Chrome, and Triple Crown winner American Pharaoh, the induction of jockey Victor Espinoza into the Hall of Fame was just a matter of time.
Halters worn by Triple Crown winner American Pharoah and Thoroughbred racing's all-time leading earner, Arrogate are among the coveted items in an online auction to raise money for Central Kentucky Riding for Hope.
When Victor Espinoza returns to ride in the Belmont Stakes (G1) June 10 at Belmont Park for the first time since guiding American Pharoah to a Triple Crown sweep in 2015, the memory of that day will still be fresh.
In its first year, a pinhooking venture established by Ahmed Zayat sold eight 2-year-olds for more than $4.1 million, a healthy return on the aggregate yearling purchase price of $1.63 million.
