It's so nice to see that even in competition jockeys are always relaxed and that they are like brothers.😄

So good to see the jockeys relaxed and see what goes on behind the scenes. Such awesome and dedicated athletes.I was rooting for Patch, Union Rag's son. Julien Lapeareux rode Union Rags in the Derby a few years back.

So impressed with all the Jockies... These are the cream of the crop... I've seen hundreds of races and I've always wished I could thank them for there dedication to their craft... Much respect!

Tuff looks so much better than the last time I saw him. 1996 or 97 a couple of months after he got pretty stomped on. I was a steward's side in California so I had to be in the jock's room a lot. It brings back so many memories. Miss these guys.

Omg. JAVIER CASTELLANO'S son is absolutely adorable!!!

Great idea showing the way Jockeys get ready to each race. Not an easy job . A risky business and eternal weight control, things fans don't see .

This is the closest I'll ever be to the inside action at Churchill Downs on the Big DAY Thanks for showing us !!

This is so nice, should bring this back, would be nice to see how things "changed", different jockeys etc. Like for 2023 remake :)

Love the exercise rider for Always Dreaming going nuts near the finish.

this was an awesome post!! I have so much damn respect fro jockeys ...some I like , some I don't ..but all are world class athletes, tough as nails ..the best at what they do!!

Great video! I wish that I could get behind the scenes of what it’s like on Belmont Stakes Day

Best Video... looking forward to this years

great video !!! it's great to see the behind the scenes in the jocks room .

Wow! To of my greatest heroes were childhood friends. Imagine that crazy.

John Velazquez a humble man .

The most goggles i had on at once in a single race was 6, used up them all within about 400 metres 😫

It's really the "King of Sports." ;-)

Nice job with the tour.

OF COURSE HE IS THE BEST....HE ONLY RIDES THE BEST OR HE DOESN'T RIDE AT ALL

Outstanding video, thank you!

When you can name all the jocks before the name is shown. You've definitely gambled too much. Lol. Only one missing is irad ortiz. That's pretty much the nation's best in one room 🏇🏇🏇🏇

And the very next year Big Money Mike wins the Triple Crown!

Nice video...

I was rooting for Patch in this race.

were family ... thanks

Respect!

They don't help the people that put them on top with their hard works and dedication

AI was rooting for Looking at Lee and classic empire

Mike is such a nice guy!!!!

I met Ricardo Santana I was in the jocks room I was playing ping pong but that was recently

was last yr with baffert

Who is Mike talking about? Zenyatta?

What year was this?..anyone tell me

In this race I was at the Meadowlands Race Track. They had a contest, $500 dollars to bet a horse. If your horse win you keep the payoff. They called my name and gave me 500 dollars free money to bet a horse. My birthday has been the day before on Friday the 5th. My country man was on horse #5 one of the favors to win. I bet the 5 hundred dollars on horse number 1. Number 5 horse was the winner and I felt sick. My birthday the day before, the 5th, my country man on number 5....and I bet free money given to me on number 1.....not a good thinking.

Without those beautiful silks you can't tell they're jockeys at all😄

Saying hi or buy to your kids before riding we never know it that might be the last time. We know the risk we take every time we ride.

Mike Smith is a player...just ask Chantal...

Yo trabaje en santaanita y delmar de caballerango y nunca hablan de los que cuidan a los caballos todo el día y que saben cuando estan enfermos o lastimados

All the hangers on.

No female jockeys?
