  • Hall of Fame jockey Victor Espinoza, who won the Triple Crown on American Pharoah, follows a strict diet and training regimen.
  • Espinoza eats mostly everything, but only eats one meal per day and has small portions.
  • Espinoza does the same training routine five days a week — a three-mile run up and down a hill, low-weight, high-rep weight training, and a swim.

Victor Espinoza knows what it takes to be one of the top jockeys in the world.

Espinoza was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2017 as one of 12 jockeys to win the Triple Crown, accomplishing the feat in 2015 with American Pharoah.
