Let's make this birthday one to remember.

62 years old (Born on October 17, 1962)

Happy Birthday, Pat Valenzuela! You've ridden over 4,000 winners and conquered the Breeders' Cup seven times—clearly, you're not horsing around. With a career like yours, it's safe to say you've spent more time in the winner's circle than most people spend at Starbucks.

From thrilling finishes aboard Sunday Silence to your legendary Breeders' Cup victories, you've given racing fans countless unforgettable moments. May your birthday be as exciting as a photo finish and filled with laughter louder than the roar of Churchill Downs. Here's hoping you celebrate today with fewer hurdles—and definitely no stewards' inquiries!
