javier castellano Born in Venezuela, Javier Castellano is on a mission to become the top jockey in Horse Racing. He’s been around the circuit for years, and last year finally garnered the top award of Jockey of the Year. He had the highest earning total of any jockey history last year. He doesn’t have “Kentucky Derby Winner” by his name, but that doesn’t seem to bother him. “For me, it would be great to win the Kentucky Derby, but that’s just one race. I was the best jockey last year and that means that I did well in many races. That to me is more important than just one victory,” Castellano said. Most recently he won the Florida Derby on top of Constitution and will likely see his efforts pay off in a Derby ride. GAME CHANGER 55
