Examples
Pat Day's whisper to his mount before the Derby was basically horse hypnosis, leaving the competition in the dust.
With more wins at Churchill Downs than most jockeys have socks, Pat Day redefined what it means to be the king of the track.
Even retired, Pat Day steals the show by calling 'Riders up!' – because legends don't fade, they just switch to voice acting.
Pat Day once rode to victory on Lil E. Tee, proving that the best jockeys don't need a big name, just big talent.
