Join Scott Serio, Eric Patterson, Billy Trone, and Shannon Hodgson as they help Eclipse Sportswire tell the story of apprentice jockey Axel Concepcion. 

Puerto Rico native Concepcion graduated from the same jockey school as his fellow countryman Irad Ortiz Jr., and it is that Eclipse Award-winning rider that Concepcion most hopes to emulate.

Through May 30, Concepcion has won 32 of 225 races (14.2%)  since beginning his mainland U.S. career on Jan. 19. His most lucrative win came aboard Above the Limit in a $55,500 allowance race on April 20 at Laurel Park for trainer Cathal Lynch.
