Triple Crown-winning jockey Victor Espinoza will be exploring a new hobby this fall: dancing. ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" announced Tuesday that Espinoza will be a contestant when the show’s 21st season kicks off on Sept. 14. Espinoza made the announcement on ESPN2’s "SportsNation."
Having already experienced the glory of completing the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes sweep aboard American Pharoah as well as more than 3,200 wins and $180-million in earnings, Espinoza will now compete against fellow celebrities on the dance floor.
