Trainer Luis Carvajal has a simple explanation for giving so many unproven – and often inexperienced – jockeys a chance with his horses.
“When you do good things for people it eventually comes back to you,” he said.
Maria Scaldaferri, a native of Argentina who has yet to win in the United States, is the latest aspiring rider to get an opportunity from Carvajal, getting the mount aboard Malibu Life in Friday night s fifth race at Monmouth Park.
It will mark the Monmouth Park debut for the 30-year-old native of Pergamino, Argentina.
