Jockey of the day

There are not to many Garrett Gomez's in the horse racing industry. That is there are a number of jockeys who ride everyday and win races, yet do not achieve the success or notoriety that some do by riding at some of the more well known tracks. The truth is that these men work just as hard, but for far less reward. Starting today I am going to start taking a closer look at some of them and give them the acclaim they deserve. Today the very first rider of the day is Brian Hernandez. Brian rides at Turfway Park and scored 3 wins, 2 seconds, and 2 thirds on the day. Regardless of where you ride the wins don't come easy. Brian had an extraordinary day of racing on Sunday. So for his performance he is the rider of the day. Other jockeys who had 3 winners on the day include Manuel Cruz (Calder), Gustavo Larrosa (Fair Grounds), and Miguel Perez (Zia Park). Multiple winners make for a great day of riding so congratulations to all of these fine jockeys.
