Notes:
Ryan Fogelsonger did not even think of becoming a jockey at his younger age; it was a chance that brought him into horseracing. He got a job at the famous Bonita Farm – his small stature is another reason that influenced him to become a jockey. Actually, he had never sat on a horse until after graduating in 1999 from Springbrook High School, Washington DC. As far as his first win is concerned, it came riding on Sentimental Way that was trained by Linda Albert at Pimlico. Though he did not earn any victory until May 2002, he was given the coveted honor– Eclipse Award for an outstanding performance. He shipped to Southern California in 2003 and finished among the top ten riders at Hollywood Park, Santa Anita and Fairplex. He has raced for the Breeders’ Cup only once; that was in 2003 at Santa Anita where he finished eighth in the Juvenile Fillies category riding on Vino Tinto. In the following year, Ryan returned to Maryland and became a leading rider with a total of one hundred and sixty victories. In 2005, Ryan led the Maryland track compiling 144 victories. He has completed his 1000th career victory on June 2006 at Colonial Downs. He is the most successful jockey in Maryland so far as the record from 2002 is concerned.
