Jockey Julio 'Maganja' Felix recorded the 3,000th win of his career in a photo finish aboard Ragnar Korthase's Carnoustie on May 25 at Arlington International Racecourse.   He will tell us a little about his career as a jockey and the mentoring he has bestowed on jockeys such as Kevin Krigger, Victor LeBron and a newcomer Eucklyn Pede Prentice who accredit Julio as a great teacher when speaking of their success. Julio Felix, 51, is New York born but his family hails from St. Croix, Virgin Islands.  He rode a handful of races there as a teen before he set up shop in South Florida in 1989. Another big week at the races and John will be joined by the other Regular Guy - Ed Meyer.  They will start at Saratoga with the Gr.1 $1.2 million Whitney and the Gr.1 $500,000 Longines Test Stakes.  Then it is time to head west and land at Mountaineer Park where the track's premiere race of the year will be run - the Gr.3 $500,000 West Virginia Derby.
