LIFETIME NARRATIVE: Jockey Emilio Rodriquez (Part One)

KINGSTON, Jamaica - Jockey Emilio Rodriquez, celebrated as The People's Champion, is revered by racing enthusiasts both in Jamaica and internationally.
A multiple-time champion jockey, Rodriquez is acclaimed for delivering some of the most exceptional performances ever witnessed on the Jamaican racetrack.
Renowned for his vigorous riding style and his exceptional skill and agility, he has consistently secured victories, earning the admiration of fans.
Recently, Rodriquez returned to Jamaica to assume the role of ambassador for the Jamaica Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Foundation, an organization committed to supporting professionals in horse racing, with a particular focus on aiding those working behind the scenes.
In the first installment of his autobiographical series, Rodriquez offers an intimate glimpse into his formative years in horse racing, culminating in his triumph at the 1984 Jamaica Derby aboard Thornbird.
This Lifetime Narrative is proudly presented by Quickgallopja.com and its CZcams Channel, The Quick Galloper.

Fanna Griffiths is my favorite jockey....In my view he is the BEST....but Bimbo was a GREAT jockey....it's a hard choice between him George and Fanna...but I give Fanna the edge....I think that Lucky Ole Sun Derby was the BEST Derby in Jamaica....It was Bimbo who WON that race.... NOT the HORSE.....The horse was ridden for ALL it was worth....and collapse shortly after the finish!!

If Bimbo had a healthy ankle..he would have won so many more races..he was such a strong finisher..was involved in some of the most exciting and thrilling races in Jamaica and the US..personally..the race he won on Dracula in that 5 horse blanket..carrying 133lbs was my favorite..it was so close..the trainer Howard Mckenzie was reluctant to lead him in..bimbo came back and beat his chest..telling everyone that he had gotten there first..easily the most exciting rider..Fanna was ok..but won with mostly chalks..best horses...
