2019 is a very good year for Venezuelan riders and horses. They have stood out a lot in the United States, as in other countries.
And it is that Venezuelan athletes measure up to where they are going, no matter in which discipline they perform.
However, this year, two athletes have left the name of Venezuela very high. With their triumphs in the American circuits and in other latitudes as in the Arab Emirates they have exalted us.
This is Javier Castellano and Emisael Jaramillo, two Creoles whose work on horseback has filled the hearts of Venezuelans with joy. Both are pride of horse riding in that country.
This year, Javier Castellano’s name has sounded a lot. This is because the Creole also win the Vosburgh Stakes, classic Grade 1, has had great performance in other competitions.
Last September, Castellano won the Vosburgh Stakes. This 1,200 meter distance race is held in the arena of Belmont Racecourse, New York.
Firenze Fire, was the main opponent of the Venezuelan in this fair, where another great whip, Irad Ortiz, was looking for the win.
In the first 400 meters the partial was at 22.11, for the 800 meters the time was 44.65 and 56.19 for the 1,000 meters.
Javier Castellano had a hard-fought duel with Irad Ortiz, but he finally took advantage of a nose and the time he set was 1.08.35
But the rider Zuliano was not satisfied with that victory. The Zulian rider reached the scoop on the back of a daughter of the triple crowned American Pharoah.
That is why we place it among the outstanding Venezuelan riders and horses 2019
This is Princess Carolina, a two-year-old mare, to whom the Venezuelan rider had the opportunity to ride a race in Sacre Coeur.
This is an honor that not every jockey can access. But that the experience and exemplary record of this equestrian athlete allows you to “give yourself those luxuries.”
In that race, Javier Castellano kept the mare in intermediate positions. But in the final stretch he took the first place to win with a margin of 3 and a half bodies.
The time that the Venezuelan jockey and Princess Caroline left on the track is 1.41.67 for 1,700 meters.
Another great victory for this Venezuelan rider is the British Idiom in the Breeders ’Cup Juevenile Milles.
Career considered one of the most important in Santa Anita Park.
This is a 1,700 meter race, which the Venezuelan made in a time of 107 ”2.
That was Castellano’s 11th win in the Breeders ’Cup races.
Given his performance for May of this year, Zuliano Javier Castellano was awarded the Mike Venezia 2019.
Award given in memory of rider Mike Venezia, who dies in 1988 due to injuries caused by a spill.
Venezia, a native of Brooklyn, won over 2,300 races during his 25 years as a professional rider.
This Prize is added to those already held by the Venezuelan jockey.
The Marabino (as they say to people born in Maracaibo, Zulia state) holds four consecutive Eclipse Awards as an outstanding Jockey from 2013-16.
And, at the same time, he owns more than 12 riding titles in the Nyra circuit and is routinely among the best brokers in earnings, registering more than $ 22 million in 2018.
Other riders awarded that prize are:
Joe Bravo (2018), Kendrick Carmouche (2017), Mario Pino (2016), Jon Court (2015), Hall of Fame John Velazquez (2014) and Hall of Fame member, the Venezuelan Ramón Domínguez (2013).
This Prize now has the name of two Venezuelans in its history, Ramón Domínguez and Javier Castellano.
This is one of the reasons why Javier Castellano is among the outstanding Venezuelan riders and horses of 2019.
Among these riders who in 2019 have given many joys to Venezuela is Emisael Jaramillo.
