Luca Panici is coming into his own this year. He’s riding better than ever, and riding better horses for better barns. Luca has always been on our radar as an under the radar very capable rider, and it is nice to see him getting better mounts and producing. Luca is represented by Kevin Meyocks, brother in law of Javier Castellano, and son of Terry Meyocks the National Manager of The Jockeys’ Guild. As most of you know, Past the Wire is a proud supporter of The Guild and all they do.
Luca Panici brought in 44-1 Tormenta de Oro in The Claiming Crown Glass Slipper on opening day at Gulfstream. That’s the way to start a meet off.
