Greg Douglas and Mexico

Louisville: He is a landed immigrant in Canada where he moved 10 years ago from Mexico. "I hope people keep cheering for me." Spectators at the Vancouver horse-racing facility watched a telecast of the derby in Louisville, Ky., and the place exploded in excitement as Gutierrez took the lead, said racetrack spokesperson Greg Douglas. "When he won, the yelling and cheering I'm sure was bouncing off the North Shore mountains, according to Hamilton Spectator. The place went crazy," Douglas said. "Probably one of the largest crowds in the history of Hastings Race Course was here, specifically to watch Mario," he added. "He a local superstar, he really is. He now lives there when not on the race circuit. When you've got 10,000 to 12,000 people coming out to watch the race just so they can be part of it during the live telecast, that pretty much says it all." Gutierrez took his first Kentucky Derby title in May 2012, flying under the radar for a first-place finish with a Canadian-owned horse named I'll Have Another. This time he was riding Nyquist, another Canadian-owned colt who remains undefeated after eight races, all with Gutierrez as his jockey. Four years later he did just that, achieving the rare feat of winning both Kentucky Derby races in which he competed. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
