Let's make this birthday one to remember.

90 years old (Born on October 25, 1934)

Happy birthday, Joe! With nearly 40 years in the saddle, you've ridden your way into racing legend. Rumor has it even Brigadier Gerard thought you were doing most of the hard work—although he might dispute who was really doing the heavy lifting down that final straight.

From thrilling victories at Newmarket to riding some legendary gallops against superstars on four legs, your career continues to inspire and amuse us all. Thanks for making horse racing look so effortless—we suspect it's just because you're secretly powered by cake. May today be filled with more celebrations than photo finishes!
