'I Know Nothing Is Given To You': Pablo Morales Named Tampa's Jockey Of The Month

Pablo Morales won his first race on Wednesday. His mount Hoku paid $39.20 to win. Morales has won 210 races this year. He has a 24.97-percent strike rate. His agent, Paula Bacon, thinks he is nearing the prime of his career. She credits his even-keeled personality for helping him produce results. The agent also praises his positive attitude. Samy Camacho is the current leader at Tampa Bay Downs. It's the fourth time in the last six years that Morales reached 200 wins. In July at Woodbine in Toronto, Morales notched the third graded-stakes triumph of the career, winning the Grade II Highlander Stakes on 8-year-old Bound for Nowhere.
