Triple Crown winner Victor Espinoza visits Ohel a year after his historic win.
Victor Espinoza made history last year in June when he won the triple Crown Horse race. The triple crown wasn’t won for 37 years before that.
He went to the ohel a few days before the race to ask the Rebbe for a bracha.
Flanked by Rabbi Efraim Zaltzman, Director of Chabad of Kingsborough, in Brooklyn, NY. Mr. Espinoza gratefully went Thursday to read a personal note at the Ohel.
Espinoza is probably actually the same name as Spinoza… wondering if he is himself Jewish or perhaps descended from conversos?
It was in the newspapers how victor espinosa the jockey went to the ohel before winning. But what was strange is that the jewish owner Mr zayid didn’t go to the ohel. But the owner agreed not to be mechalel shabbos regarding the race which was run on shabbos. Thanks to chabad he agreed to not mechalel shabbos regarding it I heard.
