American Pharoah, the crowd and bettors' favorite horse emerged as the Kentucky Derby winner on Saturday.The jockey riding the fast horse was 42-year-old Victor Espinoza from Mexico. He is the second jockey in the last three decades to win the Derby for two consecutive years.

Following his victory at the 2015 Kentucky Derby, Espinoza said: "I feel like the luckiest Mexican on earth."

The jockey's expression of joy and pride instantly became the most memorable quote of the 2015 Kentucky Derby. According to ESPN, someone told the winning racer that he was wrong, but Espinoza explained why he feels that he is indeed the luckiest Mexican on earth.

"I was told in an interview that I wasn't the luckiest one because there is a billionaire in Mexico City. I told them they were wrong because I can do a lot of the things that he can do with his money, but he can't do what I do. Especially win three Kentucky Derbies. That is the difference. That is why I think I am the luckiest Mexican ever," Espinoza said. 

Espinoza was also able to turn his fear into his partner to success. Yes, he was afraid of horses when he was younger, while living in a dairy farm in Mexico.

"We had a lot of animals on the farm, and I was very afraid of the horses. I was a small guy, so I had a lot of respect for them. I never would have thought I was going to be a jockey. I had no clue about racehorses," the racer reminisced.

Espinoza also shared a message to young racers, telling them that it is very important to set goals, not just dreams.

"New riders always tell me it must be a dream to win the Kentucky Derby, and I always tell them that I never had dreams, I always had goals. That is why I succeed -- I have goals," Espinoza said. "I never dreamed to be a millionaire. My goal was to be a millionaire, my goal was to be successful, my goal was to win the Kentucky Derby."

For someone who also had humble roots, Espinoza said that he will continue inspiring aspiring racers and he is hoping that one of them will also win multiple Kentucky Derby titles in the future.
