Winning Ponies

Veteran rider who just picked up his 2,500 win. Born in Philadelphia, Troilo started his career at the suggestion of a friend who introduced him to George Rusty Arnold II, then a young trainer based in the Midwest. He started working for Arnold in 1979, took out his jockey's license in 1982, and earned his first career win that year at River Downs. Throughout his career he has consistently finished among leading riders in Ohio and Kentucky, with 10 River Downs titles since his first there in 1991.
