Victor Espinoza & Karina Smirnoff     

A famous Racing Jockey, Victor has known great success over the course of his career, most notably when he won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes riding War Emblem in 2002, and again when he won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes riding California Chrome in 2014.  Earlier this year, Victor officially made racing history when he won the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes riding American Pharaoh, making him the oldest Jockey and first Hispanic to earn the Triple Crown Title, an extremely rare Thoroughbred racing title that has only been bestowed a total of 12 times (Victor being the 12th recipient) since first being commissioned in the year 1950.
