He said, ‘Thank you so much again for letting me ride the horse (Lookin At Lucky) ’”. • Came to the United States from Mexico in 2003 .

Personal • Raised around racing in Chantilly, France, where his father Robert, a former jockey, worked as an assistant trainer before his death in 2003 . Began working at the track at the age of 18 as a groom, hot-walker and occasional exercise rider . • Arrived in Southern California on Jan . 23, 2003, to be employed as an exer- cise rider by Patrick Biancone, whom he accompanied to the 2003 and 2004 Breeders’ Cups . • Launched his riding career at Saratoga in the summer of 2005 . The following year made Kentucky his riding base while often traveling to the East Coast as well as the West Coast for occasional riding assignments, primarily for Biancone . • Marie Biancone, an assistant to her father, offered this assessment of the young rider from France: “Part of his success is his calmness; he doesn’t get excited . He stays very focused and concentrates on what he does everyday . He suddenly became famous, but it hasn’t gone to his head ”. California Cup Distance H .
