Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on October 23, 1984)

Happy Birthday, Martin Garcia! You're the jockey who taught us all that when life gives you a horse named "Lookin at Lucky," you saddle up and ride straight into racing history. Your thrilling victory at the 135th Preakness Stakes still has fans cheering—and probably some horses wondering how they can book you for their next big race.

May your birthday be filled with fewer hurdles than a steeplechase and more joy than crossing the finish line first. Here's to another year of smooth rides, winning strides, and plenty of carrots—because even champions deserve treats! Keep riding strong!
