Jose Ferrer
The calendar says jockey Jose Ferrer was a year older on Wednesday. Just don t tell that to his rival jockeys or the trainers and owners who continue to benefit from his skill and passion.
Ferrer rode three winners at Tampa Bay Downs in Oldsmar, Fla., on his 57th birthday, then performed 20 pushups in the winner s circle after weighing in following the ninth race, which he won on 3-year-old filly Princess Nina.
“Hell, no,” Ferrer replied when asked if he felt 57. “Didn t you see me doing 20 after the race?”
Undoubtedly, he will feel even younger in a couple of hours when he shares ice cream and cake with his wife Steffi and their sons, Derek and Joseph.
