Champion Thoroughbred Jockey & Hall of Fame Inductee; Four-Time Eclipse Award Winner; Kentucky Derby Winner
Javier Castellano Biography
Javier Castellano is a thoroughbred jockey who began his career in Venezuela before making his first mount in the United States at Calder Race Course. Castellano established himself across major North American racetracks, earning riding titles on the New York Racing Association circuit—including Belmont, Aqueduct, and Saratoga—as well as at Gulfstream and Keeneland.
Castellano has received the Eclipse Award for Outstanding Jockey four consecutive times. He set a record for purse earnings and led all riders by victories and stakes wins in a single season. Castellano is the only jockey to have won seven Travers Stakes races and is one of only two jockeys to win four consecutive Eclipse Awards.
His career includes 12 Breeders' Cup wins, such as the Breeders' Cup Classic with Ghostzapper, the Breeders' Cup Distaff with Stopchargingmaria, and Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile victories with Liam's Map and City of Light. Castellano also won the Preakness and Travers with Bernardini and the Preakness with Cloud Computing. He achieved a dual Classic-winning year with victories in the Belmont Stakes and the Kentucky Derby aboard Arcangelo and Mage, respectively.
Castellano was inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame at age 39. He received the George Woolf Memorial Jockey Award, which recognizes both career achievements and personal character. His North American earnings exceed $420 million, ranking second among jockeys. Castellano reached his 6,000th North American win at Saratoga Race Course aboard Starship Lizzy in a New York-bred maiden claimer.
Castellano's career reflects sustained excellence and competitive drive in the horse racing industry. With more than 6,000 North American victories, Castellano remains an active figure in thoroughbred racing, demonstrating dedication and mastery in the sport.
