Editorial Reviews

Laffit Pincay, Jr. began his ride into Thoroughbred racing history as a teenager in Panama. His two loves were baseball and horse racing. When told he was too small to be a world-class baseball player, Laffit turned to race riding and was told he was too big to be a world-class jockey.In his 39-year riding career, this Hall of Fame jockey won an incredible 9,531 races - more than any other jockey on earth. He won three Belmonts, one Kentucky Derby, scores of Breeders? Cup races, and five Eclipse awards. All About Winning is the inspiring story of Laffit, narrated by Kevin Costner. You will take a trip with Laffit back to his boyhood home, listen as he recounts the tales of his great rides on some of the greatest horses of all time . . . Affirmed, Landaluce, Spend A Buck, Bayakoa, John Henry, Spectacular Bid, Swale and more. You?ll hear from jockeys Angel Cordero, Bill Shoemaker, Chris McCarron, Mike Smith, Jerry Bailey and more on what it was that made Laffit so great. Owners and trainers D. Wayne Lukas, Bob Baffert, Richard Mandella, Burt Bachrach, and Dick Van Patten - to name but a few - add their insights and recollections of Laffit?s victories and defeats.An inspirational jockey, great horses, thrilling race footage and a chance to watch a world-class production ? what more could you need?

4.0 out of 5 stars Horse Racing Fans Take Note!, November 14, 2008
By 
Craig Connell (Lockport, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Laffit: All About Winning (DVD)
What a nice tribute to an outstanding athlete: jockey Laffitt Pincay Jr. Being a horse racing fan for many years, Pincay was a familiar name to me, but I had little knowledge of the man.

Little did I realize what an incredible physical specimen and disciplined human being this guy was and what lengths he went to do stay that way for 39 years in his profession. How many other athletes, it is asked here in this film, are on the top of their game for 39 straight years?! Nobody but Pincay.

A bunch of famous jockeys, a few top trainers (D. Wayne Lukas and Bob Baffert heading the list), horse owners, celebrities, reporters and others all explain why Pincay was so good at what he did. Better yet, they showed us. There is a lot of racing footage in here, and it shows some losses and horrible spills as well as the big victories.

You'll meet Laffit's amazing family, too, and be moved at the end when the famous Panamanian is given a special day in his honor at Santa Anita racetrack. All in all, for a horse racing fan, this is great stuff!

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Laffit: All About Winning (DVD)
This was a great video. I bought it for my daughter who wants to be jockey but even if your not a big racing fan it was interesting to hear how he weathered the ups and downs
