For anyone who is discouraged in the pursuit of a dream, the Kentucky Derby career of jockey John Velazquez now stands as an ultimate testament to never giving up.
Even as Velazquez established himself as one of the premier riders in North American Thoroughbred racing in the first decade of the 21st century, his luck in our nation’s signature horse race was all buzzard’s.
Over the first 11 shots Velazquez got to win the Derby, he failed every time. His personal Kentucky Derby race chart was filled with finishes such as 19th (three times), 15th and 10th.
Even worse, it seemed the Derby gods were determined to taunt the Carolina, Puerto Rico, native.

When 2020 began, a Centennial-based international travel company was poised for its best year yet.
That’s according to the attorney who helped Story Land & Sea file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on New Year’s Eve.
“Once COVID hit, everything changed,” said Jeff Brinen with Kutner Brinen. “People began cancelling and applying for chargebacks on their credit cards. Despite efforts to cut back on expenses and to use some of the government funds, they just weren’t able to survive.”
In its Dec. 31 filing, Story formerly known as Queenslander Tours said it owes nearly $2.9 million to more than 150 creditors, and has assets worth $250.
