Victor Espinoza leaves Sunday for England where he will ride Tuesday through Saturday at the Royal Ascot meet for the first time. Agent Brian Beach has him booked on at least one mount per day for trainer Wesley Ward, who is scheduled to run six 2-year-olds at the five-day session across the pond. Espinoza returns to ride at Santa Anita next Thursday, June 19. “This is a cool opportunity for Victor,” Beach said of the Royal Ascot experience. “He’s never ridden there before and it’s a prestigious meet. It’s an opportunity we couldn’t pass up.”

amdaman · Come on. Just watch the replay, please, and then tell me that you're not seeing Espinoza stopping riding Chrome before the wire. In doing so, he allowed Wicked Strong to catch him at the wire. · 2505 days ago
