Hall of Fame jockey Victor Espinoza will once again be represented by agent Brian Beach beginning with the start of Santa Anita Park's fifth condition book on Friday. Beach previously represented Espinoza from 2013 to 2021.
“We're getting the band back together,” the agent said Monday.
During their previous partnership, Espinoza swept the 2015 Triple Crown with American Pharoah. They split in 2021 due to what Beach said was a combination of COVID and the health of his wife, Lotta.
“With all the restrictions that were put in place at the time due to COVID, the health of my wife kind of kept me away from the track,” Beach said. “But things are much better with her and I'm able to jump back in.”
Espinoza has had just 23 mounts at the Classic Meet with two wins. For his career, the 50-year-old Hall of Famer has racked up 3,495 victories with purse earnings of more than $211 million.
