John R. Velazquez (born November 24, 1971, in Carolina, Puerto Rico) is a jockey in Thoroughbred horse racing. Admitted to the Horse Racing Hall of fame in 2012, as of 2014, he is the all-time leading money-earning jockey in North America.
"Flower Alley always showed talent. He was just green. He's (reached that) potential."
"From the start, I wasn't going to let Bellamy Road go. I got after [Flower Alley] at the three-eighths pole and then I asked him and he took off. This is what it's all about."
"I don't want to talk about riding titles any more. This is what it is all about. After all these winners the last few years – and we've had some great success – this definitely tops it. The response I got galloping out and the emotion I got, it was definitely a unique feeling. This is tops."
"I was happy with where I was. He was going very comfortably."
"When I asked him, he was there for me."
"I have to worry about Bellamy Road and I have to worry about the horses behind me. But I don't feel any pressure. If Bellamy Road goes in :46, he'll be five in front, but if he goes in :47 or slower I'll be right on top of him."
"Going down the backside, when I didn't see Roman Ruler close to me, I felt it was time to get a little closer to Bellamy Road. I knew if he tried to get away I would be right next to him."
"We must have run over two or three geese. One of their feathers was in my foot. It was a delayed reaction. After she went through them, then she got scared."
"I thought I had a perfect trip. When I asked him, he responded and gave me good run. His horse was just a tiny bit better than mine today."
"India got all shook up there. I knew we should have scratched right then. She was all nervous, and she has never been like that. She ran a quarter of a mile and didn't put up a fight. She must have displaced or something because she was making all kinds of noises."
