Episode 23 - Irad and Jose Ortiz: Jockey Brothers Redefining Greatness
In this long-awaited episode of The Horse Whisperer Podcast, we sit down with Irad Ortiz Jr. and José Ortiz, two of the most dominant jockeys in modern horse racing.
Today’s guests aren’t just two of the best jockeys in the world — they’re brothers, they’re rivals, and they’re walking highlight reels in the sport of kings. Together, they’ve won just about every major race you can name — the Kentucky Oaks, the Belmont Stakes, the Travers, Breeders’ Cup, and a staggering number of Grade 1s between them. They’ve each earned Eclipse Awards as Outstanding Jockey, and they’ve both been leading riders at some of the most competitive meets in the country.
From their roots in Puerto Rico to breaking records on the biggest stages in the world, this conversation pulls back the reins on their sibling rivalry, family bond, and what it takes to win—again and again.
Please welcome to the podcast — the pride of Puerto Rico, the fiercest sibling rivalry in horse racing, and two absolute legends in the irons — Irad and Jose Ortiz.
