Jose Ortiz won six races over @KentuckyDerby weekend, including his first Derby and second Oaks victory… becoming just the ninth jockey to win both marquee races in the same year. I caught up with @jose93_ortiz to talk about beating his brother Irad at the wire, sweeping the weekend, and what this moment means for his future. Watch our exclusive interview on @LEX18News

The backbone of thoroughbred racing lies with the unsung heroes behind the scenes: Horsemen and horsewomen whose dedication runs deep. These people come from all walks of life, forming a diverse community united by a single purpose: The love of a horse. @LEX18News

HBPA CEO Eric Hamelback on the passing of D. Wayne Lukas: "No one will match what D. Wayne Lukas did in horse racing. Others — and a few already have — may win more Triple Crown races, more Breeders’ Cup races, train more champions, win more Grade 1 races or seasonal earnings. But no one is going to surpass The Coach’s intangibles: mentoring not only those who worked for him but many others who didn’t, providing wise counsel for generations of horsemen. "It’s unfathomable that anyone will ever match Wayne’s 'training tree' for assistants who went on to be nationally prominent horsemen, who in turn are producing assistants who go on to prominence. He made white bridles a fashion statement. He understood that mainstream media might not understand the intricacies of horse racing, but they would understand analogies to other sports and their star athletes. "Wayne also did other things we all should try to replicate. He took the time and effort to interact with the fans, turning those who happened to be at the races into committed racing enthusiasts. Wayne is in a better place now, with his beloved son Jeff. We can best honor his memory by trying to do a fraction of what The Coach contributed to horse racing beyond his horses on the racetrack." 📸@EricTheTiger w The Coach
