Panamá 🇵🇦🇵🇦 gran campeón

Thanks for this video. Take it From a professional 35 year horse player (and a winning horse player at the game ) this video taught me a couple of things. I guess we're always learning

Pincay is a poor sportsman, and a lousy jockey. His use of the bat on Sham in a race that was clearly lost precludes his other accomplishments. My father was a jockey in his teens. He rode Quarter Horses...he mentioned Pincay's performance, and I never forgot it.

Ageism sucks. It still exists. He rose above it. Rock n Roll! A class jockey.❤

He is awful. How much did he whip this horse to win. Look at what he did to Sham.

Skywalker looked tiny. Thin neck.....

My ears tell me this is Kevin Costner narrating? (Has to be)

Great documentary. I grew up seeing Pincay Jr. races, and yes, as a child, I pretended to be him riding a thoroughbred while on top of a spring supported toy pony. Those were the days of Laffitt Pincay Jr. a legend for the ages.😊

Orgulloso panameño 🇵🇦👏

Greatest 1:36:38

No doubt he is great; but Mike Smith is still going. Make room for Mike Smith.

I'm never growing up and watching him when your races watch this video was the best thing of his life history where he struggled to prove himself that's horses I will always remember him a jockey who came from a foreign country into the United States and had a chance to prove himself ❤

Tremendo jinete y lo mas importante su humildad de los grandes del deporte

b--u--w--a---n

Have to laugh. Secretariat was the Greatest ever! Sure there were great horses,but the greatest always will be Big Red!

Beautifully done, great documentary. I saw him at Churchill Downs in 2009 at the Derby He signed my Derby book What a great person and incredible athlete.

No words. Simple one of the best congratulations

What a legacy. BRAVO. A life well lived. I have run the course . I have won the race. Now come home my faithful servant.

Great documentary brilliant man Great jockey. Never heard of him amazing jockey. His passion and a great pair of hands. He could have gone on forever but it was the right time to retire.

I'm glad to see this. I got to see him ride and win many times. He is a natural equine communicator. Laffit is a hero and beautiful example of kindness and humility. His mom raised him with love, respect, and dignity.

I've been going to the racetrack since my dad & uncles took me when I was little boy to racetracks in New England Rockingham Park & Suffolk and new York tracks ...I'm like the 12 year old who fan who loved racing and knew racing Pincay was one of the best to ever ride a race horse...many great riders I've have seen ..pincay one of the best of the best ..a situational jockey..who whether on lead stalking or closing was fantastic

the people that never believe that in their eyes you was small people and we have guys like this, secret we do it for the sport , nothing else , but if the race was for big money in between them , then they went at each other, and to me only winner was horse racing.

I just think it’s unfair to say that there is nobody else to compete with him, because Ron Turcot was paralyzed as a younger man while he was riding and he could not go on to the older years

When I need a boost of inspiration I watch this. He is one of my favorite riders ever. Racing was his heart and the horse was the beat to his heart ❤️. Im forever grateful for what his did for the sport. Much love to him 💪💪🐎🐎

Sham??

Great memory's great time and era to have lived in 🙏✝️

He should have been taken down and not allowed to ride.. he abused sham,the way he used that whip. That is abuse. He was money hungry. How often did he abuse horses

It´s a wonderful thing to see those powerful horses at the races. All giants such as Secretariat, and others .This story about Lafit is interesting to hear about and his devotion to the sport. But I can´t just come over how they use their wips. I can´t stand seeing a horse getting wipped. On or out of race. I´m sorry.

Lafitte has such wonderful energy. As soon as you see that smile, you think wow that is a happy person ! I want that ! That’s what I thought. A very happy person.

He whipped poor Sham so badly. Don't know if he can be so great if he can't win a race without whipping a horse to death.

36:54 omg

Yeah , you may be the best, but Laffitt you blew in it in 1973. and you can't say, you didn't have the horse. In fact Ronnie beat you at your own game. He put the whip away as you were whipping the snot out of sham. So Secretariat was a horse you could not beat

Wouldn't it have been a dream to see Laffitt on Secretariat?

My father took me to Santa Anita when I was 16 years old. My greatest memory of that day was getting Pincay's autograph and of course the Shoe. As a young adult in horseracing years later I was able to meet them both as a part of racing. What a trip. Always a class act.

I'm shocked nothing was said in this piece about perhaps the greatest horse Pincay ever road, a horse by the name of Sham. Sham had the distinct misfortune of being born in the same year as his second cousin, a big red superhorse called Secretariat. Sham and Big Red shared the same damsire, champion broodmare sire, Princequillo, the horse who passed on to them their 18 and 22-pound hearts. The normal size for a thoroughbred's heart is 9-10 pounds. I have no doubt Pincay could have ridden Sham to all three Triple Crown wins in any other year. Perhaps the most amazing part of Big Red's record-setting win of 1:59 2/5 in the Kentucky Derby in 1973--which is still the race record nearly 50 years later--is that he only won by two lengths. Sham actually ran the second-best time in the history of the Kentucky Derby until Manarcos came along and won the race in 2001.

I've owned one horse. A claimer who got claimed from me in his first race for me. Laffit was my jockey. He won by four lengths. Such a thrill!

I made so much money betting on this guy!!

Enjoyed very much..

Pincay or piggot?

Used to love when he came to ride in NY each year. We used to say that he could win on a cow.

Was my favorite until he retired. I was a Santa Anita goer and the fans had a treat as the jockeys had to walk through the open crowd on their way back to the jock's room. I never got tired of shaking Pincay's hand and getting his autograph several times. The SoCal colony was the toughest in the country though the snobby New Yorkers would never concede to that.

I used to watch the nightly replays on Channel 56 in the L.A. area not because of any wager, but only to watch the brilliance and mastery of Laffite Pincay. I rarely missed that TV program because of him.
