American Pharoah jockey Victor Espinoza always donates 10 percent of his winnings to City of Hope, an organization that researches and treats cancer near his home in California. But after Saturday's Belmont Stakes victory that sealed the Triple Crown, he's multiplying that donation by 10 and giving a full 100 percent.
When Espinoza won (besides exclaiming "Holy Shit!" on national TV) he said:
"At the wire I was like, 'I cannot believe I did it. I (won) the Triple Crown race now, but I didn't make any money, because I donated my money to the City of Hope."
Tiny man, big heart.
