Jevian Toledo capped a breakout year in 2015 when he topped the rider standings at Laurel Park’s fall meeting with 48 victories and purses of more than $1.5 million.

The 21-year-old native of Caguas, Puerto Rico, came to the U.S. in 2013 and won 128 races that season. He rode Miss Behaviour to victory in the Grade 3 Charles Town Oaks and Stormin Monarcho in the Richard Small Stakes in 2014 and rode a career-best 178 winners in 2015.

Toledo recently took some time out of his busy schedule to talk with This Is Horse Racing intern and Delaware Valley University student Shayna Tiller about his career, goals and what he enjoys away from racing.

The team at Taylor Made Farm got more than its fair share of adrenaline this past weekend. Some of the boost came from the buzz and anticipation in the waning hours before the five-day Keeneland January sale started its run Monday. Otherwise it came as they watched, from wherever they were scattered around Central Kentucky, California Chrome make a winning comeback thousands of miles away.
