It's Legend's Day on the Horse Whisperer Podcast as we are joined by not one, but two living legends!
There are legends in horse racing—and then there’s Angel Cordero Jr. He wasn’t just one of the best to ever ride—he changed the game. Fearless, tactical, and impossibly smooth in the saddle, Angel dominated some of the sport’s biggest stages for over two decades. He’s a three-time winner of the Kentucky Derby, the first Puerto Rican jockey inducted into the Hall of Fame, and a name that still commands respect every time it’s mentioned on the backstretch.
Even after a devastating injury ended his riding career, Angel never stepped away from the sport. He became a mentor, a champion for younger riders, and the trusted agent behind stars like John Velazquez. His presence, his passion, and his wisdom continue to shape the future of horse racing.
For over 50 years, Ron Anderson has been the go-to agent for some of the greatest riders in racing history. His roster reads like a Hall of Fame lineup—Gary Stevens, Jerry Bailey, Fernando Toro, Chris Antley, Garrett Gomez, and now John Velazquez, Joel Rosario, and the legendary Frankie Dettori. With 38 Breeders’ Cup victories to his name and multiple Kentucky Derby wins, Ron has had a front-row seat to some of the sport’s most unforgettable moments.
It is a jam-packed episode with two of the greatest to ever do it in the sport of horse racing!
