I love horse races. This is something I inherited from my father. Panama has produced many of the best jockeys in this
sport worldwide, and consequently the Hipodromo Presidente Remon in the town of Juan Diaz in Panama is nicknamed "Cuna de
los mejores jinetes del mundo" (Birthplace of the best jockeys in the world). During 2002 and 2003 I had the opportunity of
going there with my father. I also went in 2003 with my sister to Haras Cerro Punta and Haras San Miguel in the Province of
Chiriqui where the best Panamanian horses are born and raised.
