1. John Velazquez lost his spleen riding the ill fated Secret Compass in the Breeders Cup Juvienile Fillies when she broke down. It was his last ride of the year yet it didn’t stop him becoming champion with 234 points. 12 wins, 12 seconds and 8 thirds made up his total.
His rides for trainer Todd Pletcher accumulated 71 points while a first second and third on Justin Philip was the top contribution from an individual horse amassing 22 points.
2. Mike Smith behind all season nearly caught up on 212 points.
His rides for trainer Bill Mott gave him 44 points with Bill’s Emollient contributing 30 of those points. Game On Dude and Royal Delta were next best for Mike achieving 27 points each.
3. Joel Rosario, third on the rostrum on 186 points with 26 coming from the Chad Brown barn and 24 points from his association with Bill Mott’s Close Hatches.
In all 158 jockeys were placed in G1’s in 2013. Congratulations to them all.
