Julio Garcia

[Jorge]

I know its early to be included in that list above, but everyone should be in the lookout for Irad Ortiz Jr, who is riding extremely well in the NY circuit. So far he's been doing everything right!! A natural born rider, just as Julio Garcia is.

I agree with you. But there is a brother too, also a talented jockey, right?

There is also another jockey (now retired) who also belongs to the list, lets call him number 11. His name is Carlos Hiram Marquez. Well let me add some other names who rightfully should be included:

11. Carlos Hiram Marquez
12. Jose Angel "Chiqui" Santiago
13. Gilberto Cappacetti (after half a century, semi retired at Philadelphia Park)
14. Juan Cintron
15.
16.
17.
18.
19.
20.

4. Eddie Belmonte (Excellent jockey. Personality -- 1970 Preakness)
