A 35-year-old native of West Texas, DePaz joined Serling to discuss his training career as well as his introduction to racing. After working on the backstretch of Louisiana Downs, DePaz served as an exercise rider and assistant for Kentucky Derby-winning trainers John Servis, and Hall of Famer D. Wayne Lukas before assisting Todd Pletcher, where he looked after the care of accomplished runners such as Rags to Riches, Devil May Care and Quality Road. DePaz went out on his own in 2015 setting up shop on the Mid-Atlantic circuit training horses for Kevin Plank’s historic Sagamore Farm.
