Jockeys Alex Solis + Gary Stevens Notch 5,000 Wins In North America - A Feat Only 27 Other Jockeys Have Matched

SOLIS AND STEVENS ARE ABOUT 50 YEARS OLD AND HAVE BEEN RACING FOR 35+ YEARS. WHEN YOU HAVE JOCKEY'S OF THIS CALIBRE RACING PRACTICALLY EVERY DAY, YEAR ROUND NO ONE KNOWS IF THEY WILL CONNECT WITH THE LONGSHOT MOUNT THEY RIDE AND BRING IT HOME WITH A HUGE WIN PAYOFF. YOU SEE, SOMETIMES A CERTAIN JOCKEY HAS A CERTAIN TOUCH FOR A PARTICULAR HORSE AND THAT HORSE WILL WANT TO RESPOND AND RACE LIKE THE WIND THAT DAY EVEN IF PASSED UP BY THE SO CALLED, "EXPERT HANDICAPPERS".

THE ONLY SURE SIGN OF SPRING HERE ON THE FROZEN TUNDRA IS THE KENTUCKY DERBY, THE FIRST WEEKEND IN MAY - 10 WEEKS AWAY! BY THEN THE FROZEN RIVERS AND LAKES WILL GIVE WAY TO FLOWERS BLOOMING AND BIRDS CHIRPING. WINTER WILL BE A DISTANT MEMORY AS THE FIELD OF 20 JOCKEYS DUEL FOR RACING IMMORTALITY BY WINNING THE KENTUCKY DERBY. MANY HAVE TRIED, AND MANY HAVE HAD VICTORY SNATCHED FROM THEIR GRASP IN THE FINAL FURLONG AS A BETTER HORSE AND A BETTER JOCKEY WENT ON TO WIN THE RACE.
