Born in Bellafonte, Pennsylvania, Rose got into horse racing at 20-years-old and is most known for riding Afleet Alex to victories in the 2005 Preakness and Belmont Stakes.

“This means a lot to me,” said Rose. “Riding with the big jockeys down here, it’s big for me.”

Rose, born in 1979, thanked a variety people following his win, including Tim Ritchey, the trainer of Afleet Alex. Now the rider is setting his sights on 3,000 and beyond.
