Otto was by all accounts an accomplished and winning thoroughbred  jockey, but he always felt there was something more.  We discuss his  beginnings, racing at legendary and prestigious tracks such as Oaklawn  Park, Churchill Downs, and Keeneland.  We talk about his triumphs and  injuries, how even being a winning jockey left him with a feeling of  unfulfilment.  That is, until he went all in on faith, and a subsequent  conversation with a pastor led to a prophetic statement that Otto would  indeed ride another winner in his career.  The vision included being  draped with a rose blanket which could only come from a Kentucky Derby  win.  However, the mount he would get was more than he bargained for as  he was led straight to the set of Disney's "Secretariat" as the role of  Ronnie Turcotte who rode Secretariat straight into the winner's circle,  history books, and hearts of every thoroughbred racing fan on the  planet.  This episode is sponsored by First Fitness Nutrition.
