Jun 9, 2015 2:02 PM UTC Victor Espinoza, the jockey who rode American Pharoah to his Triple Crown victory, maybe deserves a break from competition. However, Jimmy Fallon made Espinoza race again on _The Tonight Show_ Monday, challenging the jockey to a race on mini-motorcycles, which he dubbed the “Quadruple Crown.” The course, which was intended to represent each leg of the actual Triple Crown, featured some women in Kentucky Derby-esque hats, Preakness-type mud throwing and Belmont bookies. Espinoza took an early wrong turn, but still emerged the winner. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3914056/jimmy-fallon-victor-espinoza/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3914056/jimmy-fallon-victor-espinoza/"},"headline":"Watch Triple Crown Jockey Victor Espinoza Race Jimmy Fallon on Mini-Motorcyles","datePublished":"2015-06-09T14:02:26.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:20:53.311Z","description":"They called it the Quadruple Crown","url":"https://time.com/3914056/jimmy-fallon-victor-espinoza/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Sports topic","Television","jimmy fallon","The Tonight Show","celebrity","Horse Racing","triple crown","The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Esther Zuckerman","jobTitle":"Zuckerman is a contributor for TIME.","url":"https://time.com/author/esther-zuckerman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3914056/jimmy-fallon-victor-espinoza/","name":"Watch Triple Crown Jockey Victor Espinoza Race Jimmy Fallon on Mini-Motorcyles"}}]}] ```
