    In the episode of "Leyendas del Turf," hosts Javier and Mariana discuss the life and career of Jorge Valdivieso, regarded by many as the greatest Argentine jockey of all time. The story starts with Jorge's professional debut on January 17, 1975, where he made a remarkable second-place finish, hinting at his future brilliance. Interestingly, Jorge was introduced to horse racing at the age of 12 by his brother-in-law, Rubén Lagomarsino, who noticed his perfect build for a jockey. By 17, Jorge was an apprentice and horse trainer. His rise to stardom accelerated after his first victory at the Palermo Racecourse. From there, Jorge became a national icon, whose name resonated across the country and even beyond borders. The hosts conclude that Jorge Valdivieso's story is one of the greatest in Argentine horse racing, demonstrating that talent, determination, and hard work can create enduring legacies.
