Saratoga in the 80s. Gene told Angel to make a run late, I told him, he's a bit short but if you get to the 1/8 poll, in 1:09, you'll steal it. He went into the turn for the 7/8 Alw. race, in 2nd. The speed spit it like always and Angel was soon in front by 6!. He passed the 1/8 pole in 1:09 & 1, drifting out and won by 3/4 length. Coming back, looking at the split time, then me. I got that big Angel Cordero smile and a wink. I will never forget that time.
Angel's not only one of the greatest jockeys ever but so very charismatic I could listen to him talk all day. And of course he talks about Seattle Slew in glowing terms that's my favorite horse of all time , and he said Slew was by far the best horse he ever rode ! Amen Angel and you're the best Yaki I ever saw!
Angel Cordero though he was good jock 'forever' left a terrible feeling about him when the stewards 'gave' him the race with Peppy Le Pew over Congeleur with one of my fav jock...Herb 'Hollywood' McCauley after a photo finish that took over 15mins to decide.! This cost me a pick6 of over $300k... I will NEVER forget that! That day Herb would have won 5 races!... I am sure Cordero remember that day they gave him that race!
Gary stevens and many more great riders/jockeys couldn't shine Angel Cordero Jr' s boots on their best Day. Angel Cordero jr remains the greatest jockey slash race ruder that ever lived after Eddie Arcaro. Jorge Velazquez Jacinto Vasquez Lafitt Pincay Jr Eddie Maple Chris McCarron Chris Antley Jose Santos Eddie Delayousse Pat Day These were among The Greatest riders But Angel is still the best.

Now that im sort of a " retired " racing fan , I am enjoying this . He seems like a fun guy . When I was younger , I thought that he had an eastern bias favoritism , especially by CBS Frank Wright . Laffit Pincay was the better rider though , and by a fair margin .
I’ll never understand some of those Americans who could look at a person’s skin colour and say you can’t eat here, or, you can’t drink water here. What kind of human being could be so god damned fuckin evil? It wasn’t even that long ago that it was common place. Absolutely disgusting
Coming back after a race he bended over pick sand and throw it at a guys face who was badmouthing him for loosing a race.....i was next to the guy and paid the price. Angel still owe me an apology.
Look what he did to Genuine Risk in the Preakness. Eddie Arcaro said he should have been disqualified. He didn't just push her out and bump her hard, but her jockey said he hit her in the nose with his whip. Howard Cosell said during the broadcast that Cordero was known as a dirty rider. Not in so many words. I don't think he has much respect from other jockeys including Gary Stevens. When Gary interviewed Chris McCarron, Gary asked him what qualities as a jockey he'd want to be remembered for. Chris said that he had integrity, was honest and had compassion. Seems like he wanted to differentiate himself from jockeys who didn't have integrity, honesty or compassion. Angel Cordero being the most famous of those.
The best jockey in the world.🏇🏇🏇🏇🏇

Gary has always been a class act and also a hall of fame rider
1 of my 5 Puerto Rican Idols..
I'm not Puerto Rican but loved betting on the great Angelo Gary number one for me angel number 2 and Martin number 3
I will always love Angel Cordero, Jr.!
my most favorite Jockey of all time, and Seattle Slew was my also my favorite of all time..so him up on Slew..was a dream combo
A trick: you can watch series at flixzone. I've been using it for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.
@Harley Creed Definitely, been watching on flixzone for since november myself :D
What he did that stands out is winning at Saratoga that many years. Such a competitive track
Angel Cordero jr the GOAT
That Ride up the rail and Win aboard Dancing Spree in the Sprint...Never will forget that Race...

Hay que quitarse el sombrero con Jr.Cordero

I cashed a lot of tickets on this guy....
Gary, he was not black.....he was Puerto Rican which made the difference.
He is Black, and our ancestors came out of slavery.
@@jeannettecordero5444 Jea, many races out there....white, black, and other.

Ilove Angel especially at Hialeah in the winter
@@christopherchannelmarlo3227 I love Hialeah ! I made 3 trips from Vancouver . I did well there . In my opinion , the greatest track .

Angel was a YOCKEY! 😅😅😊
He arrived in the US from where? Puerto Rico, USA.
Coming back after a race he bended over pick sand and throw it at a guys face who was badmouthing him for loosing a race.....i was next to the guy and paid the price. Angel still owe me an apology.
Dirty rider but a great rider. A new jock in town he would slam his horse into theirs just to show them who's the boss
That's an illegal move on the track.
@@CajunA79 well he got away with it many times
@@petermartin7811 That's so messed up!

a black jockey???? Wow!
Really. Black? When he came to the US says Gary--guys, PR is the US and Mr. Cordero ain’t an African American.
He is a Black Puerto Rican. Black does not equal African American.
He should be in jail. It's shameful that this admitted race fixer is allowed anywhere near a track.
One of the dirtiest jockeys in horse racing ..never was a fan .
The best jockey 🖕
